As an update to our last post and in response to the evolving COVID 19 pandemic, we wanted to give you some further information about our services as well as some community information that you can use during this public emergency.

In line with our commitment to providing needed member services but also aware of our responsibility to protect the health of our volunteers who are overwhelmingly in the vulnerable age 60+ population and following guidance from our public health officials, we have limited our activities and services. Specifically, as was noted in our previous email, we have cancelled all of our in- person events through April 1, 2020. In addition, during this emergency we will no longer be able to offer members rides to appointments. However, as was noted in our previous email, we will still offer our friendly phone calls, including help in registering for on-line grocery and pharmacy delivery services. Finally, we are happy to announce a member service that will enable us to pick up and deliver to members’ homes pre-paid prescriptions and groceries from Safeway at King Farm and Safeway at Falls Grove, respectively. (Please see below for specific information.)
Because we know information is important in this troubling time, please see the following websites for general information and safety tips: Rockville Villages website at: https://www.rockvillemd.gov/2008/Villages and Montgomery County Volunteer Center’s website at: https://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/volunteercenter/volunteers/covid19.html.
