How to Help the Homeless Fight COVID-19

Posted by Beth Unite · March 13, 2020

This new Coronavirus is dangerous for everyone but especially for the local homeless population. While there are many factors as to why the homeless population is especially vulnerable there are ways you can help!

Protect Yourself

The best way you can help protect these vulnerable populations is to protect yourself. Shelter at home to stop the spread of infection. Wash your hands frequently. Avoid unnecessary trips downtown.

Donate Sanitation Supplies

While there are shortages for things like wet wipes, hand sanitizer, etc. if you can donate them then please do! Even things like soap, shampoo, and basic toiletries help provide a higher level of hygiene that the local homeless population need access to now more than ever.

Educate

There are tons of resources available to the local homeless population from the city, local churches and non-profit organizations. Help spread the word!
