How can I help our community right now?

I’ll be honest: I didn’t think too much about that at the start of the COVID-19 response efforts.

Due to my job, I felt the impact of the response a little sooner than some of the folks around me. It hit the department I work in about a week or so before things really started changing. That time period, for me, was very much a fight or flight kind of thing.

But the deeper we moved into response efforts, I found myself thinking more about this question.

Over the last few weeks, we have been taking some steps to, well…try to help.

They are admittedly small things, so much so that I debated whether I should write about them at all. But after reading a few posts by others about what they’re doing, I decided…well, why not? Doing something small is still doing something. It all counts.

So here’s a snapshot of some of the things we’re doing to try to help our community right now.
