A nonprofit organization is gathering money and volunteers to help the elderly and others in need during the coronavirus pandemic. 
Muslim Community Patrol and Services are on a mission to help the elderly and others in need during this difficult time. 
They've hired a chef and are getting volunteers together to make sure that seniors and other vulnerable people in the community are taken care of. 
The nonprofit delivers more than 100 meals every Friday to those who can't leave their homes. 
They've created a fundraising page and so far they've raised nearly $900. They're hoping more people contribute so they can continue to cook and serve. 
Their goal is to continue serving meals for the next two months.
