4 Of The Best COVID-19 Relief Funds

From a donation of $7 to sending out a box face masks, these are four organizations that offer financial support and resources to a diverse range of people and projects.

1. Hunger: Not Impossible

Perhaps one of the most tech-savvy non-profit organizations out there, Hunger: Not Impossible orders a free meal for every text from someone in need. Just by texting the word "Hungry", a family will receive a free meal from a local restaurant, ordered and paid for by Hunger: Not Impossible. Not only does this organization assist those who cannot purchase food, it also benefits local businesses. For one donation of $7, you can pay for a meal for someone in need. Go to www.notimpossible.com/hunger

2. Immigrant Worker Safety Net Fund

This organization provides relief resources and support to migrant and refugee workers that are particularly vulnerable to COVID-19. Through the network that the Immigrant Worker Safety Net Fund has created, they will offer support to thousands of people and families struggling during the current pandemic. As the organization points out, many migrant and refugee workers either do not have or are not given access to food and necessities, and will suffer greatly if they do not receive assistance. Any donation is appreciated and will provide immediate relief to migrant and refugee workers in need. Go to www.ndlon.org/immigrant-worker-safety-net-fund

3. Project C.U.R.E.

Project C.U.R.E. provides support to health care services through the form of supplies and financial relief. Not only can you volunteer at this organization, you can also send in medical supplies, create a fundraiser, or make a donation. This project is incredibly hands-on, and offers the opportunity for anyone to participate in COVID-19 relief first-hand. They donate to hospitals and EMS. Their services are based in big cities such as Houston and Chicago, but you can also send in supplies or make a donation online. Go to www.projectcure.org

4. COVID-19 Response Fund

Created and managed by the World Health Organization, the COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund collects donations and distributes them to top research programs world-wide in the effort to cure the coronavirus. Not only are these research labs trying to create a cure, they are also diagnosing symptoms and creating treatments for those that are infected. These labs are also strategizing to decrease the rate of the virus' spread. The World Health Organization will provide tools, resources for employees, and financial support to these labs with any donation made.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
