Even during the COVID-19 crisis, when many people are confined at home, people are still reaching out and helping others. Managing editor Tami Roleff says the Yucca Valley mayor and town council have offered some tips on how residents can help each other…
Yucca Valley Mayor Jeff Drozd said in a statement that the community has been coming together to help each other; grocery stores have offered early shopping hours for seniors; and first responders and health care workers are going above and beyond. Drozd offered a few simple steps to help our neighbors:
Call your neighbors, particularly seniors and those who live alone. Help them get the essential supplies they need.
Stay in touch with others by phone, video conferencing, or email—and reconnect with those who you may have lost touch with.
Continue social distancing guidance, protecting the most at-risk groups in our area.
Order take-out or delivery from a locally owned restaurant.
Offer a wave of thanks when you see essential employees, especially our healthcare workers and first responders who quite literally put their own health on the line for all of us.
