LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – With Lake County under a shelter in place order due to COVID-19, local officials are urging seniors in need to reach out for available services.
If you are a senior citizen in Lake County or know of a senior citizen in need of assistance with meal delivery or pharmacies providing delivery service, please call the senior center in your area.
If you don’t know which senior center serves your area, please call the Area Agency on Aging at 707-995-4652 and they can provide you with that information.
The Lakeport Senior Activity Center, which manages Meals on Wheels services for Lakeport, Kelseyville and Lucerne, reported that it has a team of volunteers ready to bring lunches and anything else homebound seniors may need.
Seniors do not need to have a prior relationship with the senior center to get the services they are providing. Anyone over age 60 automatically qualifies to receive the meals.
Lakeport must serve those over 60 first, but the center wants to help younger seniors and the disabled or isolated. Center officials reported that they will do everything they can for the most vulnerable in the community during this crisis.
With the order to stay home, any senior over 60 may request meals for pickup or delivery and any other needs they have by contacting the center at 707-263-4218.
Cash donations are greatly appreciated to make up for the loss of revenue from the center’s Meals on Wheels Thrift Shop. Donations can be made online at www.facebook.com/lakeportseniors or by mailing a check to 527 Konocti Ave., Lakeport, CA 95453.
To find out what the current needs or ways to be a part of Lakeport’s efforts, call the Lakeport Senior Activity Center at 707-263-4218 or join the Covid19 - Lake County Seniors and Disabled Support Network Facebook group.
