Monroe Seeks Volunteers
To Assist Seniors without Technology Resources or Family Support
in Navigating the State’s Vaccine Appointment System
Monroe Township, February 19, 2021 – In the absence of an effective state telephone hotline, Monroe Township Mayor Stephen Dalina and the Township Council are seeking volunteers, who along with many Township Employees, will be matched with a specific senior or other individual – without access to technology or family support to help navigate the state’s COVID-19 Appointment Vaccine System.
While we all recognize the vaccine shortage is very real, we must work to ensure our most vulnerable residents have an equal chance in the State’s complicated vaccination process.
We do recognize that it may take a volunteer weeks or months to help just one resident in need find an appointment – but that support, communication and effort is invaluable and we need to expand it.
“Monroe residents have always risen to the occasion to help those in need in our community. Now is the time to help if you can,” said Mayor Stephen Dalina.
The Township is asking that any residents who wish to volunteer to help a senior email
As more volunteers are signed-up, information will be provided on how seniors can request assistance.
