Good morning, Redwood City!
Hope you all enjoyed a warm, cozy holiday weekend.
If you’re in the giving spirit, it’s not too late to bring some holiday cheer to those in need. We put together a list of five ways you can help out the community during this extra challenging year.
And, as I recently discovered, the local Neighbors Helping Neighbors Facebook group is full of ideas. Check their page both for ways to help and offers of assistance.
With omicron on the rise in the Bay Area, and across the globe, test kits are in high demand. To address the need, San Mateo County will distribute tens of thousands of free COVID-19 home test kits to the most impacted communities. The county plans to give out tests to families before schools reopen—or shortly after. More on that here.
Meanwhile, the rains (and in some places, snow) continue… Happy Monday, and last week of 2021!
Signing off,
Leah
