COVID-19: Neighbours helping neighbours

Here is a collection of resources, mostly from the UK, about how community members can respond and help one another during COVID-19. We know there are many ideas are emerging in Toronto as well. If you have a resource you want to share, please email info@tango.to.

Thanks to TANGO for compiling these ideas as inspiration for Toronto neighbourhoods.
