COVID-19 relief opportunities

[futurephysician713453]

I thought it might be helpful to start a thread of volunteer opportunities for pre-med students wanting to contribute to our communities during the pandemic. Many folks have posted that their current shadowing/volunteering has been suspended. Let's try to help out in whatever other ways we can.

Please add to the thread with any needs for your region!

Pretty much anywhere:

- Your local EMS organization.
- Your local food bank/soup kitchen.
- Your local Red Cross.

Colorado has this: Colorado Responds

I do have to agree with MedSchoolTutors though as I work both EMS and Red Cross and both are hurting right now.

Blood banks need donors. There is a serious blood supply emergency (there's generally always been), and it will be seriously needed over the next few months.

I also suggest Meals on Wheels or similar programs like this. Any help with non-profit clinics to help sanitize their facilities will also be very welcome.
