My neighborhood put together a plan and devised volunteer leaders to check by phone on assigned neighbors - based on proximity- and volunteers to run errands (pick up mail, groceries on your established account, etc) and others who would cook and bring meals and put in a cooler placed outside your door (that would have to be cleaned after each use). Those who didn't want to or had underlying medical issues of their own didn't have to volunteer, but are still included in the plan. Why look for the local 'government-by-any-other-name' to do this for you? We need to do for ourselves and our neighbors and stop looking to others to do everything for us.
