Opportunities in Times of Crisis – Helping Others

Where can I access opportunities and assistance to help my family and my community during trying times?

Opportunities for individuals, families and communities during times of crisis are as numerous as the challenges that we are faced with. The best source for identifying opportunities is the individual – assess the state of your surroundings, determine the demands in the marketplace that exist around you and how you can meet those demands with service or knowledge that you might possess. You should be able to turn the challenge into an opportunity. Communities can also band together to work to share resources and knowledge to turn challenges into opportunities.
