Grocery and Prescription Ordering/Delivering and Special Medical Needs

Given that senior citizens in our town are amongst our most vulnerable citizens, the following resources and/or services are listed to help them meet basic needs while following current guidelines from federal, state and county sources to minimize potential exposure to the COVID-19 virus.

 

This is by no means an all-inclusive list. The services and assistances offered by private organizations, businesses, governmental agencies and even individuals are growing daily. Many can be found on local social media outlets, news organizations and governmental agencies.

 

A list of community resources is available for those impacted by COVID-19 at darenc.com/covidresources. The list includes information on assistance programs from utility providers, small business loans, food resources and hotlines for seniors feeling isolated and lonely.
