Information on the public health crisis caused by Coronavirus COVID-19
Through a simple registration process on loveourneighbors.com, community members can click to either give or get help.
In response to the COVID-19 health crisis, the founders of Love Modesto have developed an online platform designed to connect people to services that can help. This service located at www.loveourneighbors.org aims to fill the gap for some in need during this crisis. Sudden closures and stockpiling of goods have made it difficult for many to get access to food and other things they need.
Love Modesto is working to address the needs of those experiencing distress at this time. “Together we can support our community and assist those most vulnerable, such as the elderly and ill,” said Jeff Pishney of Love Modesto. “So far we have a lot more people volunteering to offer help than people who have registered with a need. We just want to get the word out that this service is here.”
While seniors and those with underlying health conditions are sheltering in place across the state, there are people who want to lend a hand. Through a simple registration process on loveourneighbors.com, community members click to either give or get help and then fill out a webform with more specifics. Individuals are then paired with someone who either needs the type of help or wants to provide the type of help as their match.
Volunteers are being encouraged to practice social distancing and help from afar as much as possible.
Our organization has taken steps to implement social distancing measures between our employees and the public in a deliberate effort to help slow the spread of COVID-19.
