Special Covid-19 Update
Resources
April 1 - corrections
|
|
A few corrections from my email yesterday and some additional resources...
- The American Red Cross should be listed as a resource. They are actively collecting blood, and in fact collect 40% of the nation’s blood. They are now more in need of blood donations, since many drives have been cancelled. Click Here to find more information about the American Red Cross and to schedule a donation appointment.
- The American Cancer Society has resources and information for cancer patients and their information center is open 24/7 for any help.
- Our Digital Marketing webinar on Google Analytics on April 3 is free to all. See below to register.
- The date of the Shelter-in-Place order should be March 31.

By now you have heard that the Shelter-in-Place order has been extended until May 3, with some clarifying language and some additional restrictions.

#FEEDtheNEEDBAYAREA
was created by Alex Hult, owner of Flights Restaurants, who quickly joined forces with the Los Gatos Chamber or Commerce and Los Gatos Town Council to respond to our community’s economic and social crisis resulting from the COVID-19 virus.

#FEEDtheNEEDBAYAREA
is an community-driven emergency fund to provide immediate economic relief to the most vulnerable citizens in the Los Gatos area, including seniors, displaced employees working in Los Gatos businesses, and medical workers at our local hospitals.
With the help of your donations, our team of volunteers, neighboring restaurants, and community agencies will provide FREE hot meals to local non-profit agencies, local hospitals, shut-in senior citizens, and low-income families in the Los Gatos area.
#FEEDtheNEEDBAYAREA
allows Los Gatos restaurants keep a portion of their staff employed by preparing meals at a flat rate.
Every $10 donation provides 1 hot meal for someone in need!
