It’s the question on so many people’s minds right now – how can I help?
The good news is, there are lots of ways you can get involved. But we understand all the options can also be pretty overwhelming. So for now, we’re sharing 3 simple ways you can have an impact and updating/ swapping out the action items below regularly so you can easily find an opportunity that feels right to you.

A team of Austinites has just launched a new initiative called Keep Austin Giving, which aims to connect those who have lost their gig work, such as Uber drivers; those in the service industry; and small business owners, with nonprofits to help support their shovel-ready projects through data entry, administrative tasks, and other work.
