Might I recommend helping out by working on connectivity projects, even to the extent of starting a local ISP? Internet access in many parts of the U.S. is pretty bad, and improving it would open up many new opportunities for remote work, remote learning, and tele-health. Due to the pandemic there is increased availability of funding for these types of projects, even to the extent that for example some health-care providers are considering funding or directly running a local ISP just to support their tele-health customers, because otherwise they are totally cut off from their patients.
