All Together Los Alamos is ready to accept requests for assistance from Los Alamos County residents who are housebound during the COVID-19 emergency.

The all-volunteer group of local residents is working to provide information on resources and services to people who need assistance during these difficult times. The aim is to supplement where needed the services already being provided by local senior centers and local non-profits.

All Together Los Alamos plans will try to assist homebound residents with:

·        simple “well-check” phone calls;

·        directing people to available resources;

·        providing simple over-the-phone support when possible to help set up communication methods such as video- chatting;

·        picking up groceries, prescriptions or other essential items and delivering them to homes.

The group will also provide information to local online and print newspapers, local social media and KRSN radio.

Anyone in need of assistance may register a request for assistance at the All Together Los Alamos website, https://sites.google.com/view/alltogetherlosalamos/home, or call (505) 500-4116 for more information.

Volunteers are also being invited to register at the same address.
