As our communities grapple with the impacts of COVID-19, various organizations have sprung up to provide assistance. I wanted to gather together a quick list of local organizations that need help so that those of us that are looking to provide support can do so easily. Additionally, I was struggling to find ways to support local businesses -- donation links, gift card purchase links etc.
All of the information is sorted by proximity to you. Currently it’s mostly focused on the Boston area (since that’s where I am). However, the tool will work anywhere, I would just need a list of local organizations in that area.
I would very much appreciate:
1. Feedback on the tool
2. Suggestions about how I might source the data for other areas outside of Boston without violating terms and conditions
3. Names of relief funds or other ways people can support relief efforts

After I created this I also found: https://giveandgetlocal.com/ and https://www.helpmainstreet.com/, which serve very similar needs.
