Coronavirus Report

NEED ASSISTANCE WITH FOOD AND PAYING BILLS?
Due to the Coronavirus pandemic many families don’t know where to turn for support. If you need assistance with food, paying housing bills, internet support to work from home, or other essential services, find your local 211 online at 211.org or dial 211 to speak to a representative that can help you.
WASH YOUR HANDS OFTEN AND CORRECTLY
If you don’t have access to soap and water, hand sanitizer works, but the CDC and WHO both recommended the former.
WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT, DONATE TO SINGLE MOMS AND CHILDREN DURING THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC
Would you like to help single mothers and their children with much needed food and necessities during the Coronavirus pandemic? As the virus that causes covid-19 spreads, many single parents have been left feeling isolated, scared and alone. Health experts have instructed businesses, schools and parents to plan. This has brought on a heavy load for single parents who are already struggling to stretch themselves even thinner. Your support is needed more than ever.
KEEP CHILDREN ACTIVE WHILE INDOORS
ADVICE FROM EXPERTS ON HOME-SCHOOLING CHILDREN
Create a schedule: School age children can learn to school themselves, as long as a caregiver has set the groundwork to help them succeed.
Use technology: Home-schooling does not mean that the parent is the teacher. Use a mix of free and paid sites like outschool.com, prodigygame.com and khanacademy.org.
