East End Cares is taking actions to lower risks of contracting COVID-19 by setting up a volunteer buddy system for those that are at higher risk.
“We are recruiting volunteers who are available for different needs. In particular, we have a volunteer buddy system,” says Berman. “If a person is older or is unable to go out, or has recently arrived from NYC and doing the right thing by quarantining for 14 days, that person is assigned a buddy or volunteer who will go out on their behalf and run errands, get groceries, and more.”
