My local food bank has benefited from me lately.

The NAACP.

I read an article yesterday about a group that organizes writing letters to residents of assisted living facilities, and signed up to write letters. https://www.lettersagainstisolation.com

My income is tiny so I don't usually have money to spare for charity, but I did buy itch.io's Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality, a collection of over 1000 games benefiting the NAACP and Community Bail Fund. Minimum donation was $5, and I figured even my meager bank account could afford to give $5.

Indie Games is a DW community dedicated to that bundle, in case you haven't found it yet.

That sounds like a worthy pair of places to put your oomph.

Oh my goodness, I am off to see if I can write letters for that group.

Also, my donations have gone mostly to bail funds and protestor support groups recently.

Those are great things to support. Go you!

Bail funds, the local abortion fund, some individual gofundmes for people affected by Covid, food charities, family with medical bills/furlough, local group supporting mostly QTPOC sex workers, organizations dedicated to ending mass incarceration and defunding police, orgs supporting asylum and immigration.

I feel like I need to narrow focus in terms of where I give time but haven't found a good fit for more focused volunteering with my limited time and energy yet.

Wow, that is a broad spectrum of places. Way to go!
