I've seen a few different people posting that they're looking for suggestions about places to donate now that they've gotten their stimulus money. A couple different suggestions I'd have, if you happen to be in this position....
First, food banks. We've all seen the lines - there's SO much food insecurity, and I guarantee that your community has a food bank that could make good use of your donation. Locally, I've donated to https://mdfoodbank.org/ 
Diaper banks are another incredible way to help out your community. Can you imagine being a parent and not being able to afford diapers, wipes, or formula for your baby? That's why I donate to @dcdiaperbank
Domestic violence has spiked with the stay at home orders during the pandemic. For those who home isn't a safe place, make sure there are options. @DC_SAFE is a great one in DC, but find one in your communtiy
You know whose hit incredibly hard by all of this? Undocumented folks who aren't eligible for the stimulus. Many are on the front lines, yet cannot get the financial support (or other help) they need.
Last but not least, if you're able, take care of your community. I'm sure if you look around, there are charities and nonprofits who are working to make sure that the most vulnerable among us have food, housing, and safety. Give them your $$ as you're able.
