Lyons Resources during COVID-19

Watching the world- wide events of late reminds us that Lyons is a community that has always prided itself on taking care of our neighbors and local businesses, many of which have felt the pain of a downturn in sales.

As citizens, we are all making adjustments to our daily routine to ensure the health and safety of our families, friends, and neighbors. Many of our local businesses have also made great strides and efforts to keep their stores and restaurants safe, clean and open for business, including expanding their services to have delivery and curbside pickup that will reduce too many people to people interactions.

We appreciate that many of you are also limiting exposure and practicing safe, social distancing. The Lyons Chamber of Commerce has a page that is continually updated regarding local business offerings and the Town has a dedicated COVID-19 webpage, with resources and information all in one spot.

Lyons - Grit and Grace
Thanks to all of you who continue to support Lyons where you can, while conitnuing to help contain the spread of germs.

We ask for your help. We cannot slow the spread of this illness without every single person doing their part. Regardless of whether you think you have been exposed to the virus or not, if you have cold or flu-like symptoms please, please, stay home and away from others. Take time to rest and care for yourself and your loved ones. Of course, if you need medical care, first call your health care provider, and let them know. But if you can manage your symptoms at home, please do so –  health care providers are very busy.

And if you’re feeling well, stay well by keeping your distance – at least 6 feet – from others outside your household. And keep your gatherings to fewer than 10 people, and in a way that allows everyone to keep their distance.

Need a volunteer pick-up service?

Lyons Volunteers (LoV), in collaboration with Lyons Emergency & Assistance Fund (LEAF), is working on a plan for picking up essential items for at-risk area residents.  Please let us know if you or someone you know has an urgent need for a service like this.

If you have an urgent need, please fill out a Help Request form on the Lyons Volunteers website. If you have family or neighbors who can meet your needs, that may be your best alternative, especially if they can consolidate trips and minimize close contact with others. 

If you or someone you know still needs someone to get items, let us know so we can plan accordingly. At this time we are only assessing need. We can’t yet to commit to specific services until we understand the needs.



Any service would adhere to current recommended practices:
?    Recipients will stay inside and volunteers will stay outside  and practice social distancing (6+ feet apart from anyone in public)
?    Hand washing, use of sanitizer and avoidance of contact with un-sanitized surfaces is essential.
?    Volunteers will wear fresh gloves to minimize potential contamination
?    Travel between communities should be held to a minimum.
?    Use of paper money or coins is to be avoided. Pre-payment on-line or electronic payment such as PayPal is the alternative.
?    We need adequate, but NOT EXCESSIVE supplies of food, medicine, and hygiene supplies.
?    We all need to heed the instructions of public health officials as they develop.

For questions about this service, use the www.lyonsvolunteers.org help request form.  Someone will respond to you by phone or e-mail. To serve as a volunteer, please email Volunteer@leaflyons.org.
