As winter arrives, the humanitarian need in our communities escalates. Add to that a level four lockdown, and now more than ever, we need to start increasing our charity.<\/p>\n

Yes, like many, you’d say that you don’t have the time or know-how to help during a lockdown when you were supposed to be at home.<\/p>\n

Well, let me enlighten you – all you need is just a few minutes per week to make a difference.<\/p>\n

During the pandemic, the need for blood donations has increased. You could save four lives with a single donation that would take less than thirty minutes of your time.<\/p>\n

There are centres set up at malls and other convenient locations and can be done on the weekend. It is effortless, and you will be helping a person in need.<\/p>\n

Another great help would be to establish a list in your area of those families affected by the COVID virus. Cook a little extra each day and drop a meal off at a home where the help is required.<\/p>\n

Many people say that it’s not so much the need for a meal, but rather the human contact. This has spurred many in communities to reignite “pen pals”, with a modern twist of communicating via emails instead.<\/p>\n

The pandemic may be keeping us apart, but that should not change our humanity.<\/p>\n

Last but not least, clear out the clutter and donate old socks, shoes and items of care to people in need, especially in your area.<\/p>\n

Let it be known that the pandemic has brought on humanity with dignity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
