I hope you are all making the adjustments that most LCSWs have made to preserve the safety and health of ourselves and our patients.

In addition, there are many people struggling to meet basic needs and solve the ways to prevent COVID-19. Here are a few that could use your help in doing their good work:

CDC Foundation is an independent nonprofit created by Congress to mobilize philanthropic and private-sector resources to support the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s critical health protection work.(https://www.cdcfoundation.org/)
Feeding America is a nationwide network of more than 200 food banks that feed more than 46 million people through food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters, and other community-based agencies.(https://give.feedingamerica.org/0orAuVFnzEOzbKLGrgl3BQ2)
Meals on Wheels supports individuals who are elderly, disabled, chronically ill and home-bound by delivering nutritious meals, reducing hunger, improving health and promoting independence.(https://ams.mealsonwheelsamerica.org/eweb/DynamicPage.aspx?WebCode=globaldonate&site=mowa&CampCode=AnnualCampaign&AplCode=AnnCampWeb&_ga=2.86054296.1679140158.1542118140-1937589897.1533304096)
The National Domestic Works Alliance has set up a fund to provide immediate financial support for domestic workers, and enable them to stay home and healthy — protecting themselves, their families and their communities while slowing the spread of the Coronavirus.(https://www.domesticworkers.org/)
One Fair Wage Emergency Coronavirus Tipped and Service Worker Support Fund provides cash assistance to restaurant workers, car service drivers, delivery workers, personal service workers and more who need the money they aren’t getting to survive (https://ofwemergencyfund.org/).

Helping others is a big part of our clinical social work values. I hope everyone can find a way to chip in for those who are in need.
