How to Help During the COVID-19 Crisis 

• Medical Reserve Corps (both medical and non-medical volunteers) Northwest Area – Lord Fairfax Health District: http://www.vdh.virginia.gov/northwestmrc/ Apply Here: https://vvhs.vamrc.org/?action=volunteers.overview Northwest Regional Contact: Christopher Rini: 434-566-7357 (mobile) or northwest@vamrc.org
• People can volunteer at the hospitals. This page had links to volunteer information for each of the Valley Health locations: https://www.valleyhealthlink.com/patients-visitors/for-visitors/volunteer/
• Also, the food pantries need volunteers – information is in this Northern Virginia Daily article: https://www.nvdaily.com/nvdaily/food-bank-area-pantries-looking-for-volunteers/article_246c8472-1869-5bb8-81ca-bf5dc878866b.html. Low-risk people should call their local food pantries to see if help is needed (which is likely). People can find food pantries near them at this link: https://www.brafb.org/find-help/pantry-locator/ (the link in the article is broken).
• People can sew masks at home and deliver them to hospital locations. The information is here: https://www.valleyhealthlink.com/patients-visitors/coronavirus-covid-19-updates/how-you-can-help/
• There’s an urgent need for blood donations. That information is here: https://www.redcross.org/give-blood.html.

  Got energy and want to help? Food Pantry in Mt. Jackson needs you!

  If you are tired of being cooped up at home and ready to help your local community, WE NEED YOU! Consider volunteering at Open Door Food Pantry in Mt. Jackson, Shenandoah County. Due to the COVID-19 crisis, we are short on volunteers. You can help provide neighbors with food during this difficult time. We need help the 2^nd Friday of each month to receive food and stock shelves with that food.   We also need help on the 3^rd Thursday of each month to help distribute the food to neighbors in need.  Commitment of no more than four hours either or both days required.  We are seeking volunteers who have not traveled out of state in the last three weeks, are healthy (no fever or respiratory symptoms) and low-risk, able to lift 30 pounds, and willing to follow safe social distancing protocols. If you can help, please contact Gail Roberts at 540-325-4993.  Thank you!

CANCELLED

After great deliberation it is with a heavy heart that we must announce that Our Health will cancel this year’s Golf Tournament. With the struggles facing our community and our country we feel we need to focus on more immediate issues brought about by COVID-19.
