Living in Lendrum

Dear Lendrum Residents,

March 16 - Some of us may end up getting sick during this Covid-19 pandemic and need to stay at home. If you run out of supplies or need groceries we have neighbours willing to help!

These neighbours will pick up & drop off groceries at your door. We also have teens & young adults who can help with childcare.
Please email me and I will put you in touch with those neighbours who are available to assist you.

Erin Sawyer, Lendrum Community League President
