Hi there,
As we enter this season of gratitude, the COVID-19 pandemic has made it even more important that we reach out to support, look after, and encourage one another. So we’ve come up with the #OFCareChallenge, a series of simple steps to help you take care of your community this holiday season.
To start, we’re asking you to safely check in on your neighbors this week—especially seniors who might be more isolated than usual due to COVID-19. We’ve got some tips to help you get started.
A lack of social connection can lead to major health issues--it can be as bad for you as smoking. That’s why spending just a few minutes of your day checking in on people in your community can make all the difference for someone else. In this year of social distancing, a small personal gesture can have a tremendous impact.
If you haven’t met your neighbors yet, it’s the perfect time to introduce yourself and let them know you’re willing to lend a hand, provide a spare mask, or share some leftovers.
Help build a stronger community by taking our first #OFCareChallenge and commit to safely checking in on your neighbors this week.
Take care of your community,
—The Obama Foundation |
