Many of my friends and colleagues have been hit hard by shut downs and cancellations due to COVID-19. I have been scrambling to find resources, and I want to share my findings. Below are a few of the links I have found. The first link is a pdf document listing food pantries and soup kitchens New York City. The following two links are for freelance artists, but there are more resources for musicians posted below. Please share this page with as many people as possible. Perhaps together, we can lesson the economic blow for each other.
