COVID-19 Resources

We’ve assembled this resource page to keep our community safe, healthy, and updated. Have a suggestion? Email our Coordinator at anacoordinator@armatage.org.

As we enter another season of this crisis, it’s hard not to feel burnt out. Keep following our state mask mandate, practice social distancing, and support essential workers who staff our hospitals and clinics, emergency services, grocery stores, nonprofits, schools and care-giving facilities. Check in with neighbors who may need assistance or just a friendly phone call or text. ❤️
