Everyone’s doing it tough with COVID-19, but you’ve got to spare a thought for the Victorians, particularly the older Melburnians under stage four lockdowns.
The good news is there’s something you can do to help!
National Seniors has partnered with Pandemic Protect to issues care packages to older Victorians in need of a bit of assistance in this trying time.
Each care pack contains the following:
- 5 x Disposable Face Masks
- 2 x 50 ml Hand Sanitisers
- 2 x Alcohol Wipes Packs (10 wipes in a pack)
- Personalised letter with details on COVID-19 support line
National Seniors General Manager Chris Grice says this provides support for many Victorians who’ve had difficulty leaving their homes for essential trips.
“We’ve been talking to a lot of older Australians who are concerned about getting out and about to do their grocery shopping, and do those medical appointments,” he said in an interview on 3AW.
“We’re giving them the time to have a conversation.”
You can donate a care package here.
It doesn’t take much, but it will make a real difference.
