Venmo Is Rewarding People for Helping Others

So many people on the SouthCoast are silently lending a hand or a few dollars and it's not going unnoticed.

I was late to the Venmo game, but I find myself using it more and more these days. Virtual tipping and sending people money are really helping those in need right now.
