South Bay Village Incorporated is making sure the seniors in their community know about all the resources available to help them stay safe during this time.
Resources for Seniors from City of Torrance.
Hello Commissioners!
I hope you are all doing well! I don’t know if you know about all the resources the City has for Seniors that you may want to pass on to any seniors who have not heard.
• The Torrance Cares 2 GO – A food deliver program the cost $55.00 but is enough food for a few weeks.
• The COVID19 Senior Hot Line (the Bartlett’s phone number) staff are answering questions about COVID19 and any other questions they get.
• “NEW” Coming soon. I will share more information once the program is finalized. There is a screening process, that need to be passed to be excepted. It is the testing program for seniors 65+ (City of Torrance residents who are in the highest-risk categories are eligible for in-home testing) if they currently have symptoms. This includes those individuals with COVID-19 symptoms who are: 65 and older; and/or
Have underlying health conditions including:
Diabetes
Heart disease
Hypertension
Chronic lung disease
Moderate to severe asthma; or,
People who are immunocompromised, including as a result of cancer treatment
• The City has a Virtual Recreation site with a lot of programs for seniors who use computers;

• Attached is the information newsletter that went out to over 400 seniors. All we address on.
Well that is all I have for now, be safe!
