COVID-19 UPDATE
From Mayor Bryan Kennedy

|
Glendale Residents and Businesses:
Everyday, I hear about wonderful acts of kindness happening throughout our community. Neighbors are helping neighbors. Local businesses are pivoting to make the COVID-19 Crisis more manageable.
Here are a just a few of the heroic efforts happening in Glendale:
- KENCO LABEL AND TAG is now producing medical masks for the nation.
- Schools are feeding 150 children per day via a drive-thru operation.
- Volunteers are signing up to help seniors with yard work and errands.
- ALDI is allowing healthcare workers to jump to the front of line.
- The Holiday Inn Riverfront has special rates for those on the front line.
- St. John's School has opened a critical childcare for Tier 1 families.
- The Glendale-Area Business Association is producing guides & webinars.
- BAYSHORE is coordinating a blood drive.
- Sprecher Brewery gave surprise bonuses to their employees.
- First Bank Financial Centre and Pizza Studio provided lunch to a variety of medical teams.
Today, we are abiding by Governor Ever's Safer-At-Home Order, now extended to May 26th. During this challenging time, I thank residents and businesses for your tremendous sacrifice. I truly appreciate your efforts to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19. By staying home, you're easing resources and saving lives. Thank you!
As I continue to work with officials on a local, county, and state level, I am monitoring the outbreak closely. To keep everyone informed, we've created a hub of COVID-19 Resources at
www.WelcometoGlendale.com
. You'll find up-to-date information on State Orders, but you'll also discover which companies are hiring, helpful resource links, and important communications.
It's an honor to serve you during this precarious time in our nation's history. Thank you, again, for your support during the COVID-19 outbreak.
In community,
Mayor Bryan Kennedy

Besides the obvious safety concerns, the Covid-19 outbreak has profoundly impacted the financial feasibility of our sponsors and the local community.

We thank the volunteers, committee members, first-responders, and sponsors for their past and future support.

Does your child (ages 4-10) have a birthday coming up, but they’re stuck at home due to the coronavirus pandemic? Glendale Police Officers are here to help!

This is for children who reside in the City of Glendale. This program will begin for children with birthdays on, or after, April 14th and will likely continue until the end of the pandemic.

Watch Out for
Scams & Fraudsters
|
Beware of Scams!
Fraudsters take advantage of precarious times. They can be clever and creative...especially online.
No one should call you for your bank account information in order to deposit your COVID-19 Relief Check. No census taker will ask for your social security number...or come into your house. Do not engage with texts, emails, or conversations from people who claim to be from government agencies. Please remind the senior citizens in your life.

Agencies have united to provide food, shelter, addiction counseling, and mental health resources.
