Shall we team up and help our neighbors?

This is the time we find so many rallying and supporting neighbors, healthcare workers, and anyone seeking help. We must look out for each-other, especially our seniors, and ones most vulnerable. The Neighborhood Pandemic Preparedness Team (NPPT) requests your help in the following areas:

- Our NPPT volunteers are checking in with their neighbors to see if they need help with groceries, medication etc. We are helping senior centers in distributing their food boxes to seniors. Your help is needed. Would you like to launch NPPT for your neighborhood? We can get you started. Join our daily noon call and we will train you.

- We are providing home cooked / restaurant food to our healthcare professionals while they stay quarantined away from their families. Shall we show them our love? Let us know if you want to get involved.

- We are conducting podcasts on many informative topics of today. Four Coronavirus town hall meetings already with medical professionals, 3 Small Business town hall meetings and more. Join us weekdays @ 6:30pm. See the archives here

- We are making Coronavirus specific information accessible and providing the facts versus the fiction. This Coronavirus newsletter has lots of great info, hyperlinks you can browse through.
