Melodie Jackson, our Community Service Chair, asked me to share the following update on volunteer needs/opportunities in the City of Mesa:
In response to the recent events surrounding the CORVID-19 pandemic, Mayor John Giles has issued the following statement in regards to needs in the City of Mesa and how you can help while the City is experiencing closures based on the recommendations of the CDC:
-Many of our local organizations reported a need for volunteers. If you are well and have additional time to help, please consider volunteering through www.justserve.org.
If you would like to contribute monetarily, you can do so at www.mesaunitedway.org/ covid19help.
The United Food Bank has successfully restructured their Help Yourself program to streamline the process and maintain social distancing. Their greatest need right now is bread and volunteers. To find out more about how you can help, visit www.unitedfoodbank.org.
If you find your family in need of food go to www.azfoodbanks.org to find a local food bank near you or click on the link below for locations in Mesa. Be sure to call ahead for days and times that they are open.
For this information and more regarding COVID-19 please visit www.mesaaz.gov/ coronavirus or the City of Mesa social media channels. I hope these resources help and I know that in Mesa we take care of each other and will continue to do our best to make sure that our community remains safe and healthy.
