On this edition of Your Call, we're discussing community efforts and resources to help each other amid the COVID-19 crisis.
How are the elderly and most vulnerable coping with social isolation? What do they need and what is available? We’ll answer your questions and share resources about getting involved with local food banks, community groups, healthcare facilities, and more. We’ll also talk about financial relief, grants, and emotional support. What resources do you still need?
