COVID Care Kit Program:

The COVID Care Kit program facilitates delivery of kits to recipients in the Central Virginia Health District who face limitations accessing food and other necessities when isolating due to a positive COVID-19 infection. The COVID Care Kit Program also delivers kits and provides resources for necessary services to those affected by long COVID or have been recently hospitalized due to a COVID-19 infection.  The COVID Care Kit Program partners with food pantries and food services, like Parkview Community Mission and Lynchburg Daily Bread to provide food in the care kits.
