Lamorinda Village’s Shelter in Place Program for Seniors
During this pandemic, Lamorinda Village moved fast to serve and help seniors shelter and stay safe from COVID. Right after the SIP mandate, we began shopping for seniors in our commnunity. We tripled our volunteer base and made close to 2000 deliveries. Click here to see the KTVU story about a grocery store and a Village. This was the first positive grocery story of 2020 as there was no mention of hoarding and the lack of toilet paper on the shelves.
