Pandemic Information: Stay Connected and Healthy

We are reminded everywhere about the dangers of the Coronavirus, especially for older adults and those with underlying health issues.  At the same time, we believe every crisis presents an opportunity to learn, to connect in new ways, and to help and to heal one another.

Community Living Campaign Program Updates

Our Virtual Community Connector Network has a full calendar of phone and online activities; – come join the fun! Dedicated neighbors and staff with our Food Networks are making over 220 weekly grocery deliveries; and computer trainers are offering virtual tech help. SF ReServe and our Partners are enabling ReServists to work from home; the SF Tech Council and Dignity Fund Coalition are holding virtual meetings.  As conditions allow, we have been adding more in-person options, including neighborhood walks, group exercise, and technology help. Participants and staff must follow health guidelines, including masks & proof of vaccination for some activities.

SF Senior Beat is going strong! Reporters are adapting to interviewing by phone and Zoom, and are working on news stories about how older adults are managing during the pandemic.
