Users are encouraged to fill out the postcards with their contact information and leave them on neighbors\u2019 doorsteps to avoid direct contact.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Because fear has spread so quickly, it\u2019s really important to try to spread kindness,&#8221; she told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/uk-england-cornwall-51880695\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BBC News.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>NBA Player Kevin Love Donates $100k to Help Support Arena Staff<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One day after the NBA announced they would indefinitely suspend its season due to the rapid spread of the virus, Cleveland Cavaliers\u2019 Kevin Love pledged $100,000 to help arena workers who have had \u201ca sudden life shift\u201d due to the organization\u2019s decision.

This prompted her to post flyers in her neighborhood, letting her neighbors know she was available to grocery shop for those who are at risk and immunocompromised.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you\u2019re able to decrease, even by a little bit, the number of patients that have to seek care because they\u2019ve been exposed to something, it\u2019s good for the community as a whole,\u201d she told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodnewsnetwork.org\/grocery-runs-for-seniors-during-coronavirus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Good News Network.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Corner Store Owner Gives Away Thousands of Dollars in Supplies to Seniors Facing Self-Isolation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A 34-year-old shop owner in Scotland is helping people over the age of 65, as well <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/inspiring-stories\/people-helping-people\/man-designs-elevated-gardens-for-people-with-accessibility-challenges\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">those with mobility issues,<\/a> by delivering \u201ccoronavirus kits\u201d consisting of toilet paper, antibacterial soap, tissues and anti-flammatories for their homes\u2014free of charge.
