As the world watches the health and economic impact of COVID-19, many are wondering what they can do to help. While there are many ways to assist in the battle against the virus and support those who have been directly impacted, below is a list of charities that are taking donations to help those that have been affected. This list includes charities on the national level, as well as organizations that are local to our headquarters office in Atlanta.
