Supporting parents and their children: Many parents will be forced into full-time caregiving and home-schooling responsibilities during this time, as schools across the region may be shut down through the spring. If you have free time and are looking for work, reach out to your community about ways you can virtually tutor or support families who are looking for extra help. Tell folks about the resources that are available to them.
