Any interest in a sticky in the coronavirus quarantine area for ways to help (really, anywhere; in the US or abroad)? For example, in the US some are sewing (“unofficial”) masks for local hospitals, or local servers may have venmo accounts they take donations in? The sticky-thread could be an accumulation area for these and other (hopefully) useful suggestions.

Or does this run afoul of SMDB rules forbidding, “solicitations,…charitable appeals, or other messages primarily intended to promote a cause”?

I suppose there’s also risk people post irrelevant organizations, or obscure and inconsequential ones (like “Save the New York City pizza rat.”), but maybe it’s worth it?

You could start something. Then ask a mod about getting it stuck.
