It will greatly depend on your location. Patronizing local business may be the step you are looking for.
If your area is greatly affected, delivering meals for workers may earn you a smile or two.
As the situation is changing, an iPad you never use donated to local hospital's pediatric department may entertain a sick and confined child for days.
Before anything, take care of yourself. That is the most you can do for people out there.
