Neighbors Helping Neighbors

A huge THANK YOU to those brought some of the urgently needed items to Saint Vincent de Paul’s food pantry this week. Your response to our shortage was immediate and heartening.

Our food pantry manager, Kathy, noted that in just one afternoon we received 1,250 pounds of pasta, peanut butter, cans of beans, toilet tissue and cereal. We are most grateful for your amazing response. Your commitment and generosity is the reason we are making a positive impact in the lives of the vulnerable persons we serve.

We welcome anyone who can help, as there will be an ongoing need.

The Maryland Department of Aging is encouraging all MD residents 65+ to use the free Senior Call Check program as a wellness check during the COVID-19 pandemic. As a Senior Call Check participant you will receive an automated call every day, at a time of your choice. The department will make three attempts during the day, if unanswered, they will call an alternate person of choice, who can verify your physical condition. Your alternate could be an adult child, a neighbor, or anyone designated as a reliable contact.. If you do not have an alternate or the alternate is unresponsive, the state will call local law enforcement to conduct a wellness check. Senior Call Check phone lines are open M-F 8 am-5 pm and Saturday 9 am-3 pm. During these hours, you can call toll-free(1-866-502-0560) and register. Registration is also available online at     www.aging.maryland.gov
