Looking for ways to help those who need it most during this crisis? Here are some initiatives to support healthcare workers and provide assistance to vulnerable people across Eastern Paris.
Bringing meals to a nearby hospital or organization, giving some time to an association lacking volunteers, or donating to a good cause while staying at home: there are many options to provide assistance despite the current restrictions.

Hospitals
.
The hospitals of Eastern Paris are treating patients affected by the Covid-19, and their staff is therefore the most affected by the progression of the virus. Child care and housing solutions, grocery shopping: you can help local healthcare workers through the platform En première ligne (“on the frontline”). Some restaurants and individuals have also brought meals prepared for the staff of local hospitals.

Associations helping the most vulnerable
.
The most destitute members of our communities are also the most affected by the crisis. National and local associations are counting on our donations (equipment, food, “tickets restaurants”) and are often looking for volunteers. Indeed, due to the increasing risks for elderly people, many organizations are lacking personnel and calling the youth to step in and provide assistance to ensure their essential tasks.

Food Aid

Associations distributing meals to the poor need our support now more than ever, including donations to keep operations running, essential food supplies, etc. Several networks, including Les Restos du coeur, have launched calls for volunteers in order to maintain their programs in sites that are still open to the public. They have replaced meals shared inside by the distribution of packed meals. You will find a list including many addresses and further information on the map at the beginning of this article (green icons).
