This is a good time to remember to help others. There are plenty of goods to go around. All over there are low income families and elderly needing supplies that are hard to find. Give and buy what you can to ease the burden and fears of your neighbors. Contact local churches and non profits to see where you can help.

It might be nice to have a list of those on TexAgs that are seniors/disabled/etc. who might need help with grocery store runs or other errands and where they are located. I'm sure there are many of us on here that would be more than happy to help out by running errands, sharing supplies, etc.

I think the the best way is through churches or non profits. They seem to have the most connections for people in need. I just worked with Restore Austin and they gave me a house that needed supplies. Pretty easy that way.

Churches are a good start but it would be an incredible success for A&M and TexAgs if we utilized our stay at home students. We know that we can mobilize quickly and do amazing things as seen by the red/white/blue out

As in other cities, restaurants have been closed here in Tulsa, and people are being urged to keep them alive by utilizing take-out. I wish that these places would establish funds for their furloughed employees and encourage those picking up food to continue to tip 20% (or more) to go to the furloughed staff.
