Some examples might be grocery workers, hospital staff, gas station attendants, pharmacists, police officers, truckers, etc. Make a card for someone you know that is an essential worker and thank them for keeping us safe. Make sure to tell them that you are praying for them. Surprise them by delivering it (please practice social distancing) or mailing it to them (with your parent's permission). I'd love to see a picture of your thank you note! Have fun and be creative!
