The lockdown has affected many lives, from individuals to businesses, it has left everyone in a state of despair and helplessness.

With the front-liners working day and night to keep us safe and protected, as a responsible citizen, it is our duty as well to help them and our community in every possible way we can.

Remember, your every little kind gesture counts.

This is Now You know, and today we are going to tell you how can you help your community during the lockdown-

1. Donate Blood

To maintain a sufficient blood supply and avoid any shortages, Blood banks all over the world are encouraging healthy and especially young individuals to donate blood.

Since the need for blood and platelets is constant, every healthy citizen needs to donate blood so that hospitals and blood banks have enough blood stored to take care of all the patients who need it.

2. Shop Wisely

Due to lockdown, many people are tending to buy things in bulk because of which many local grocery and departmental stores are taking a hit.

Shop mindfully and wisely, Do not overstock stuff at your home and buy whatever is necessary for limited quantities so that enough stock is left in stores for all people.

3. Donate necessary items

Since a lot of people are affected due to the pandemic and lockdown, especially the homeless and low-income people, donating money, food, clothes, and other necessary items to charities and government organizations would be of great help.

Get in touch with your local welfare groups and make the necessary donations.

4. Support local businesses and workers

Local businesses apart from grocery stores like salons, gyms, restaurants are suffering due to the lockdown.

One way of helping them is buying gift cards from them that you can use later on, to keep revenue coming in for them during these tough times.

Also, pay your house helps, watchmen, electricians, and plumbers in advance so that they too can make their ends meet.

Remember, we are all in this together, and by supporting and helping each other, we can survive these tough times with strength and positivity!
