Welcome to the
Framingham Coronavirus Community Outreach network!

Framingham Coronavirus Community Outreach was created with the goal of linking people who need help to those who are able to help. This is a network for the Framingham community during the coronavirus outbreak. We provide emergency support, emotional support, links to resources, and up-to-date store information.

Vaccine Help Effort Information

We have established a Command Center in the MetroWest Pharmacy dedicated to answering resident questions, finding and making appointments, and providing rides to those in need. More information can be found here.

Store Information

Mask Creation & Donation Effort

Because of the shortage of hospital masks, many communities are doing what they can to support those who are in dire need of masks – medical professionals, first responders, and those who are ill. We are coordinating local efforts to make and distribute masks. Check our Mask Creation and Donation info sheet for more information.

Donations

If you have items to donate, please add them to our Donations spreadsheet with your contact info. By putting your name on the list, those in need may reach out to you directly for support.

If you would prefer not to add your name and contact information to the spreadsheet, please email us at Help@FraminghamOutreach.com with your request and we can add you anonymously to the sheet.

GoFundMe Campaign

This fund was created for those who want to contribute financially to the Framingham Coronavirus Community Outreach group’s efforts. The money raised goes towards groceries and supplies for those in need. Once the pandemic ends, money that remains will be donated to Daniel’s Table.

Reimbursement for Helpers

To thank our helpers for all you’re doing, we have set up a system to reimburse you via PayPal. Please check our Reimbursement info sheet for more details.
