Things I've heard but can't link to (or sometimes verify):

The Boys & Girls Club in your area might help with lunch for kids.  Many public schools are doing the same.

Veterans and their families can get help with food staples and such through The Fallen Outdoors.

Phone companies are creating hotspots for those without Internet.  Certain ones (Spectrum) might help households with children that need Internet (not in rural areas).

Many grocery and department stores are having a "senior hour" where elderly and vulnerable shoppers can get supplies without overcrowding.

Sirius Radio is currently free for three months (not sure how it works).

Final things:

Most libraries give access to e-books, online classes, and more from home.

YouTube provides tons of tutorials, music, and shows.  Now is an excellent time to learn a new skill or discover a hobby.

It will help to keep yourself on a schedule... even at home.

Social media and news outlets can produce more anxiety than joy.  Don't hesitate to limit your exposure.

Video games are a perfect pastime for being stuck at home (the new Animal Crossing comes out Friday).  Some even provide social interaction.

Call people on the phone, Skype, or pop into someone's private messages. We're all social animals and need others.  (You can always Tweet to me @jenruthjackson.)

Check on your elderly or disabled neighbors (you don't have to go inside their homes).  They might need things and are too afraid (or are unable) to go outside.

We can beat anything if we're careful and diligent.
