As the novel coronavirus spreads, we've all been tasked with adjusting to a new normal. Living rooms have turned into classrooms and conference rooms, Zoom and Google Hangouts have become the preferred locations for pretty much all social gatherings, and activities that were once commonplace, like daily grocery store outings, are becoming far less frequent. Everything from the way we work to the way we work out is changing during the pandemic.

The fear around this public health emergency can certainly be overwhelming and scary. But, it has also shown us inspiring acts of kindness from people around the world doing their best to help those affected by the disease. Whether it's medical workers on the frontlines who need the right protective gear, hospitals that need more supplies to treat sick patients, or students who need lunch now that they can't eat at school, plenty of people are in need of help. So, if you're doing your regular online shopping, consider any of these brands that are donating to organizations serving those who are most impacted.
