A suggestion for your stimulus money

A suggestion for your stimulus money

To the Editor,

During the recent national conversation about spending immense sums of money to help get us through COVID-19, I’ve been thinking that I also want to “think locally.”

Not long ago, I learned about the Foundation for Delaware County. They work in the most vulnerable parts of Delco, doing much that would be done by a health department, if we had a county health department.

During the epidemic, the foundation is asking neighbors who can, to send donations to shore up services to our most vulnerable. They support:

  • Health clinics.

  • Food pantries.

  • Seniors, especially those who are immunocompromised.

  • Meal delivery.

  • Services for the homeless.

I am so fortunate that I can get along without the money the Congress is sending to me. If you feel the same, you can learn more about the foundation and their COVID-19 Response Fund.
