SAN DIEGO (KGTV) -- Many families throughout San Diego County are struggling due to the coronavirus pandemic, making the otherwise cheery holiday season less than ideal.
Despite hard economic times, many throughout the region are finding ways to give back in 2020.
Although volunteering may look different this year, there are plenty of opportunities to help out, from donating to food banks to fostering an animal.
The San Diego Food Bank has more than doubled the number of people it’s providing food assistance to during COVID-19. From mid-March through October, the organization distributed more than 37 million pounds of food. The food bank says all volunteer shifts have been booked through the fall, but you can still sign up to volunteer at a later date here. You can also donate money. The organization says for every $1 given, 5 meals can be provided.
It wouldn’t be Christmas without the famous Red Kettles. Despite the pandemic, The Salvation Army is asking volunteers to answer the call and become a Christmas Kettle Bell Ringer. Click here to sign up.
The Humane Society has temporarily suspended its volunteer recruitment and onboarding due to the coronavirus, but that doesn’t mean you can’t give back. The organization is still accepting donations. You can also sign up to foster a pet.
