Camping for Hunger 2019: Valley Assistance Network

18 November 2019

As Camping for Hunger 2019 kicked off, we were broadcasting The Valley Today from the Camping for Hunger bus parked at Royal Plaza Shopping Center. All week, Valley Today guests will speak about the under-served populations in our community and the ways we can help improve their quality of life through donations, services & support.

Today, Jennifer Hall from Valley Assistance Network (a program of United Way Northern Shenandoah Valley) joined me on the bus to talk about the program and the ALICE (Asset Limited Income Constrained Employed) they serve.

This is GREAT information from Winchester Police Department! PLEASE don’t call 911 for NON-emergency issues!Our Emergency Communications Center has started receiving an influx of Coronavirus/COVID-19 related calls. We understand that this is a difficult time with confusing and conflicting information being released from multiple sources. However, we need to keep our emergency lines open for emergencies ONLY. Please do not call 9-1-1 to ask questions about Coronavirus/COVID-19 or for clarifications about the Governor's Executive Order. You can find the most up-to-date information on the City of Winchester VA - Local Government Coronavirus webpage: www.winchesterva.gov/emergency-management/coronavirus

Because the same dispatchers that take care of emergency calls are also answering calls on the non-emergency line, we kindly ask that you refrain from calling the non-emergency number for COVID-19 related questions as well.

Some frequently asked questions and clarifications:

🔴 You do not need paperwork to prove that you are going to the grocery store or seeking medical care. However, some essential businesses may give their employees paperwork stating that their employees are essential.
🔴 You will not be stopped simply for having out-of-state license plates.
🔴 There is not a curfew.

⚫️ If you are experiencing severe symptoms and are in need of medical attention, it is imperative that you describe your symptoms to the dispatcher and let them know if you think you have been exposed to Coronavirus. That information will help us protect our first responders.

⚫️ If you are experiencing mild symptoms, please do not call 9-1-1. Talk to your doctor before going to the hospital or urgent care. ... See MoreSee Less
