I’ve done a bit of googling, but haven’t found a good answer to this. Where can I donate money specifically to speed up the distribution of vaccines, especially to minority communities that are greater risk and are currently being underserved?

Native Americans have been hit hard and need help. Here’s a link to a [group providing food and PPE to families](https://www.gofundme.com/f/xjgrfa-navajo-amp-hopi-families-covid19-relief-fund?utm_source=customer&utm_medium=copy_link-tip&utm_campaign=p_cp+share-sheet), this is just one of many. (Be sure to watch the linked video.)

It doesn’t matter if someone dies of COVID or of hunger or dehydration, they will still be dead.

Some people are helping strangers to register for vaccinations at their state or county websites, as many of those eligible aren’t very internet savvy.
