office update

As some of you may know, our office sustained some damage, and is not open due to the current conditions on E. Lake St. We were able to get a couple of our computers from the office which allows us to coordinate help for the seniors in our community. Our community needs our help more now than ever.
​
Because our office location is currently unusable we have a temporary P.O. Box for you to reach us at.

​FOOD DISTRIBUTION
Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, we have funds available to help
seniors in our area buy groceries. Seniors that are 60+ who live in the
Greater Longfellow and Seward neighborhoods and are lower income will
be given priority.
An application is available to fill out here. Please send your filled out application to:

Coronavirus Prevention Measures

Information about the Coronavirus (COVID-19) and its impact are changing daily. At Longfellow/Seward Healthy Seniors we are trying to stay abreast of the situation. We are looking at how we can help and protect the people we serve and our volunteers. We have made some difficult decisions based on constantly changing recommendations from the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and the Minnesota Department of Health.
 
At this point our office is open, although that may change in the near future based on updated recommendations from CDC or the Minnesota Department of Health. We are providing some Senior Social & Health Talks via Zoom. You do NOT need a computer to participate. Please click here see our latest newsletter for activities and updates. 

The most accurate and up-to-date source of information about the Coronavirus is the Center for Disease Control (CDC) website at www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/index.html. For those who don’t have access to the web, the Minnesota Department of Health COVID-19 Hotline at 651-201-3920 is another available resource.

We have also made the hard decision to cancel our Annual Dinner Fundraiser Event scheduled for April 23d. Our Annual Dinner is our largest fundraising campaign during the year. Not holding it will really cut into our fundraising efforts. If it is within your means, please conside donating to L/S Healthy Seniors through GiveMN. 
Our Mission
