RVs for MDs
Healthcare workers are among the most critical essential workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Many of them have families they don’t want to expose to the virus potentially, and they have found it challenging to keep a safe distance—until now.
A group called RVs 4 MDs to Fight the Corona Virus was started on Facebook to help pair RVs with medical professionals across the US and Canada. They help provide a safe place to quarantine for healthcare workers while allowing them to stay close to home. All the RVs are generously loaned out to frontline medical workers at no cost.
These essential workers can keep their families safe and still be near the ones they love.
Trucker Relief Funds
The American supply chain is the essential mechanism of the economy, making truckers among one of the most important essential workers group. Truckers keep goods moving no matter what. Without truckers, our essential goods, like medicine, food, and, yes, toilet paper, wouldn’t make it to store shelves.
Food trucks have been allowed at rest areas to help truckers get a good meal. People are posting their gratitude for truckers on social media by using the hashtag #ThankATrucker. Distribution centers are allowing truckers to fulfill their own essential needs at their facilities, and trucker relief fund donations are helping them keep their homes running smoothly even while they are away. Consider donating to the trucker relief fund to help truckers today.
