An increasing number of Bay Area residents need assistance during the coronavirus pandemic. Some need food and other supplies, others require financial support to make rent and some could use help with the challenges of forced isolation. In this hour, Forum will discuss the ongoing efforts by Bay Area organizations and individuals who are providing needed services. And we’ll talk about how to stay safe and avoid spreading COVID-19 when volunteering in person.
