As we are approaching the end of the week
Governor De Santis'
Phase I of
Safe, Smart, Step by Step Plan
for Florida's Recovery,
a few reminders:
- Individuals older than 65 years of age and individuals with a serious underlying medical condition (such as chronic lung disease, moderate-to-severe asthma, serious heart conditions, immune-compromised status, cancer, diabetes, severe obesity, renal failure and liver disease) should continue to stay at home. When leaving home, these individuals should follow social distancing and other general mitigation guidance.
- All individuals should continue to maximize physical distance from others in public, particularly in enclosed environments and should avoid socializing in groups of more than 10 people.
- Individuals should avoid all non-essential travel and cruises, including to U.S. states and cities outside of Florida with substantial community spread of COVID-19.

Giving Tuesday Is Extended!
CIL Disability Resource Center
invites YOUR participation in
#GivingTuesdayNow
, a global day of giving and unity, that took place on May 5, 2020 as an emergency response to the unprecedented need caused by COVID-19. The day was designed to drive an influx of generosity, citizen engagement, business and philanthropy activation, and support for communities and nonprofits around the world. Please see below the many ways your involvement impacts people with disabilities in Escambia, Santa Rosa, Okaloosa and Walton Counties in Northwest Florida.
This week we are so grateful for those in our community who donated $1,082 on
#
GivingTuesdayNow
. We are so close to $1100! Our average donation on
#GivingTuesdayNow
was $34.90.
Can you pitch in $5, $10, $20, or whatever you can give today? YOUR donation will make a HUGE difference!!

CILDRC Updates:
There was a lot of extra activity this past week with the
local wildfires
. Fortunately we were able to reach out to some of our consumers that live in the affected areas to make sure they were safe and/or had the ability to evacuate if ordered.
We are happy to say that we found them all safe and sound!
Otherwise, our telephone outreach and assessments continue
.
We have been able to assist consumers by connecting them to food, transportation and provision of durable medical equipment.
Just this morning we were able to match a gentleman up with a recently donated power wheelchair.
(If you
have not
yet been contacted and don't feel you need to connect with CILDRC directly, please reply to this email and type
"I AM OKAY"

Please contact us if you need information, assistance, or just someone to talk to.
Staff will continue to be available
by phone and email, managing day to day activities by appointment and remotely
