COVID-19 has had an unprecedented impact on all of us, but in order to protect our most vulnerable populations, the City of Glendale is taking action. The following is a list of services the City of Glendale and business establishments in the community will be providing to seniors and those at higher risk for serious illness from COVID-19:

• Effective immediately, the Glendale Fire Department will be providing delivery services of groceries and essential goods for Glendale seniors and individuals that are at higher risk of getting very ill from COVID-19. The department will provide this service at least through the end of March. Those in need can call 818-548-4814 to request service.

• The City’s Economic Development Division has developed a list of local grocery stores who are providing special services for seniors:
• Trader Joe’s will bring seniors up to the front of the line. They will also be putting items aside for seniors and assisting them with their shopping. This includes both the Montrose and Glenoaks location.
