What's New Today

This is a difficult and stressful time for everybody. Maybe you're out of work, or have family members who are, maybe you're feeling worried about the future and your retirement, or you're feeling overwhelmed with your kids.
You're not alone.
If you feel like you need to reach out for support, do not hesitate to contact the Disaster Helpline at 1-800-985-5990 or text TalkWithUs to 66746 to talk with crisis specialists. They are available 24/7.
Watch out for COVID related scams. If you are unsure about whether something is real or a scam, the Justice Department created a central fraud hotline (1-866-720-5721 or disaster@leo.gov). You can also call the non-emergency line at 425-407-3999.

Here is an opportunity for students of all ages to draw pictures of doctors, nurses, and health care staff taking care of people during the health care emergency. Be creative and don’t forget to include a “Thank You” in the picture somewhere. These will go to Providence Hospital for distribution to doctors, nurses, and health care staff. Pictures cannot include crosses or other religious content.
Scan or take a picture of the art with your phone and email to SocialMedia.Requests@providence.org and Volunteerservicesinfo@providence.org with a cc to adhallanger@gmail.com. Include your student’s first name and last initial, school, and city. Your student’s art will be donated, reproduced, and possibly published. Please consider half-page images to reduce ink costs.

Community Transit is implementing a 25% service reduction starting on Monday. It looks like the commuter routes are reduced the most, with slightly fewer impacts to local routes (although I think Mukilteo's 113 is now hourly). All the details on changes are here: https://www.communitytransit.org/reducedservice

What Can You Do?

Follow Physical Distancing Guidelines, stay 6 feet away from anyone you don't live with.

Use hand sanitizer as you enter a grocery store. Wash hands immediately upon returning home. Pay attention to packaging, and take action to sanitize products entering your home

Tell Others to also stay at home and stay apart.

Give blood- schedule online (to help minimize social contact) at https://www.bloodworksnw.org/donate (no mobile blood drives because they have issues transporting themselves to sites. But they have great procedures in place at their facilities).

Leave Some for Your Neighbors, Your Healthcare Providers, and Emergency Responders
• Your actions matter!
• Buy what you need and leave supplies for your neighbors, healthcare providers, and emergency responders.
