Eligible people in the United States with established IRS direct deposits should begin to see their coronavirus relief checks by the end of next week, according to the Trump administration. The majority of people can expect to receive something, said Vice President Mike Pence, even those with stable incomes who haven’t been directly affected by the coronavirus pandemic.

If you fall into that latter category and would like to help those who have been directly affected, donating your relief check to local and national charities and nonprofit organizations would be a great way to help your community fight and defeat this pandemic. Here are a few charities you should consider:

• Center for Disaster Philanthropy COVID-19 Response Fund: This organization works with several nonprofit groups in hard-hit areas and helps identify immediate needs. It has specifically focused on helping healthcare workers in America’s epicenters, supplying doctors and nurses with masks, gowns, gloves, and other protective equipment.

• Feeding America: This charity partners with more than 200 food banks and 60,000 food pantries nationwide and helps supply vulnerable communities with necessary resources.

• Meals on Wheels: This organization is delivering meals, replenishing other basic supplies, and checking in on senior citizens across the country.

• Salvation Army: This organization has set up drive-thru food pickups across the country and continues to shelter the country’s vulnerable homeless population.

• Samaritan’s Purse: This nonprofit group is actively providing medical relief to overwhelmed facilities in both New York and Italy. The group recently opened an emergency field hospital in New York City’s Central Park.

The coronavirus has affected everyone differently. Many, many people need the federal government’s financial relief, which is exactly why it was passed into law. Others won’t need it at all. Either way, we should all look for ways to help our friends, family, and neighbors pull through this pandemic, whether it’s through a donation to charity or a weekly Zoom call to isolated family members.
