CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) UPDATES
Mutual Aid Network
SDA has worked with Bay Resistance to set up a network to connect people who can help each other meet basic needs. We can help you with the following:
* get a delivery of food and/or medication
* figure out temporary home care needs
* manage other urgent needs related to the coronavirus crisis.
This is a volunteer network, in San Francisco, Alameda County, Marin, and Contra Costa County.
To ask for support (for you or someone you know) or to offer support, fill out this form: http://bit.ly/bayareamutualaid.
SDA is working hard to make sure seniors and people with disabilities are safe, healthy, and connected, throughout the coronavirus crisis and beyond. Our physical office is closed, but you can email staff or leave a voicemail message at (415) 546-1333 and a Peer Advocate will respond. We must continue to organize to make sure our communities are heard and that our needs are met.
If you are concerned about getting meals, home care, or other essential help, please call the Department of Disability and Aging Services, information and referral line, at (415) 355-6700 or (800) 510-2020, or leave a message for Senior and Disability Action at (415) 546-1333.
TAKE NOTE! The Thursday, April 9 General Meeting will be held BY PHONE & VIDEO instead of in person. You will be able to join from your phone OR your computer. Stay tuned for the meeting agenda and the call information.
