**SENIOR SERVICES** 

COVID 19      

During this time of anxiety and the unknown many Seniors cannot leave their residences or, due to fear and concern, may not want to take the chance.  Because of this there are many Seniors, and/or their families, who may want options for specific assistance.  We have compiled a list of services, providers and contact info/links.  This list will be continually updated and tweaked as we receive more information on additional providers, community groups and volunteers etc.
