In these unprecedented times, there are many opportunities to help others from home and give back virtually.

Be My Eyes
The free mobile app connects blind and low-vision individuals with sighted volunteers and companies through a live video call. Every day, volunteers sign onto Be My Eyes (bemyeyes.com) to lend their sight for challenges such as reading notices and navigating new surroundings.

American Red Cross
Digital volunteers for the American Red Cross (redcrosschat.org) help monitor online conversations with those affected by the coronavirus and share resources on social media. These digital heroes work in four-hour shifts and just need access to a computer and basic social media knowledge.
