As we all know Coronavirus is hitting a lot of businesses hard, but more importantly it’s hitting a lot of our fellow Americans (and humans across the globe) super hard as well! I know this is a fashion blog and shopping is a big part of it, so I wanted to share some ways you can shop and give back! The businesses below all are giving away proceeds or have made contributions on their own. I’m also including some places you can donate directly if you would prefer. Also I know a lot of us are not in the place to donate or shop right now – no judgement here! I’m sure they’d appreciate your prayers too!

Donate Directly

There are lots of great organizations out there. I pulled a select few from this article.

• The American Red Cross: As the number of coronavirus cases increases in the US, the number of people eligible to give blood and platelets for patients in need could decrease further, the Red Cross said. The organization is urging all eligible, healthy donors to donate blood and platelets to help maintain a sufficient blood supply flow and avoid potential shortages.
• The CDC Foundation: This nonprofit organization for the CDC is raising funds to help respond to the public health threat when federal and state funding is not available. The foundation said it will use the funds to support state and local health departments in the US as well as support the global response including logistics, personal protective equipment, and critical response supplies.
• Feeding America: This organization helps feed communities and individuals facing hunger across the United States through a nationwide network of food banks
• Meals on Wheels: This organization delivers meals to the country’s elderly population. Many of its local programs are struggling with the additional costs of delivering meals during the outbreak. 
• No Kid Hungry: With coronavirus forcing mass school closures across the country, millions of children are losing the daily meals they depend on. No Kid Hungry uses donations to send emergency grants to food banks and local community groups. It diverts resources to feed kids in the hardest-hit communities. The organization also has plans in place to ensure families know how to find food while schools are closed and making sure kids get three meals a day.
