CID is to begin a new initiative to support older adults and people with disabilities during the activation of a Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) event or other emergency. The goal is to enable them to remain safe while independent in their residences and communities. We are coordinating various programs for those who depend on power for durable medical equipment or for their livelihood.

Great Plates Delivered Program

San Mateo County has launched the Great Plates Delivered Program, a new service that matches older adults at high risk from COVID-19 with local restaurants to provide three nutritious meals a day.  Meals are delivered from restaurants and other food providers across San Mateo County, helping our older adults to stay home and stay healthy as we continue to “shelter in place.”  The program also provides an avenue for local businesses to continue or re-open operations softening the losses being felt by the COVID crisis.
