STAY CONNECTED

Facebook Messenger: Another way to video chat, but with your friends on Facebook! You can also use this on your computer.

FOOD DELIVERY
UberEats/DoorDash: Local food delivery options for a small fee. Each app has different restaurants to choose from.
Shipt: Grocery delivery options with a small fee. Shipt is connected with Rouses, Target, Winn Dixie and other retailers.
Yelp: See if your favorite restaurants are open for carry out orders or delivery.
Amazon: Order household supplies, over-the-counter medications, even toilet paper (if it’s in stock!). Almost anything can be ordered on Amazon.
FOR FUN
Epicurious: Try a new recipe! Or find a recipe using the ingredients you already have in your home.
Solitaire/Words With Friends: Just a few of the fun games you can play on your smartphone.
YouTube: Learn a new skill with how-to videos, get in a sweat with an at-home workout, or watch a funny video.
