Donating to a charity or charities amidst the Chinese Virus crisis.....

[bluzman61]

I've been donating food to a local organization that funds an apartment building for low income individuals that qualify for the help. The office, which is connected to the apartments, has a lit up sign that always posts what the residents are in need of most. It's almost always ramen noodle dinners and toilet paper. Their office hours are limited, but you can leave your donations inside an outer door in a small foyer that's attached to the office. I've never left toilet paper because that could or would be snatched up by anyone. So I've been buying ramen noodle dinners and leaving them by the office. The dinners are very inexpensive and are almost always at a special sale price at a local grocery store that's very close to the apartments. The irony of this is my sister and I would most likely qualify for the housing. We're both on fixed incomes, but we live well within our means and always have plenty to eat and always have more than enough food for our two cats. And I always feel good about donating to someone who's less fortunate than me. So, what are some of the charities that you're donating to during the crisis?

Thanks, Mike. I've also been supporting my favorite local pizza/Italian restaurant by doing takeout from them. I just did takeout with them tonight, as a matter of fact.

Good to hear. Our families can always use some help, especially now. My family is pretty much all in Arizona, I'm in Indiana. But I've been talking with my brother there on a regular basis and he said everyone is doing OK. That's always reassuring to hear.

Yup I just got a bunch of chicken, rice and beans from a restaurant I don't usually go to. Muy Bueno!

None. Hoarding cash like Scrooge McDuck until I am through the tunnel.

The Church.

If I ever start being able to make extra donations, it'll be the church that runs the food bank, Ronald McDonald House, and Shriners.

I am not spending much these days.

I did put a fin on leftover Easter candy, though.

Technically I did donate to a church cemetery fund in an in lieu of flowers request but that is all the charity giving I plan to do unless someone else dies

I am becoming increasingly tribal. If I don't know you, I am not helping you.
