Middlebury’s Director of Elderly and Social Services JoAnn Cappelletti has asked us to share the following March 18, 2020, letter from her to Middlebury residents:
The Department of Social Services and the Middlebury Senior Center are here to help you.
I have put into place a group of volunteers that are willing to deliver necessary items to your facility such as groceries, personal items, and are also willing to pick up medication from local pharmacies and deliver them to your home.
For those that are registered with the Elderly Nutrition Program, you will receive meals delivered to your homes for the next few weeks.
Anyone that is struggling with energy and utility bills, there is a 30-day emergency moratorium that prevents electric, natural gas and water from being turned off. This was issued by Connecticut Attorney General William Tong and the Connecticut Public Utilities Regulatory Authority (PURA).
I also have available the Middlebury Emergency Community Fund to assist with emergency situations. Contact my office for assistance.
I am in regular communication with local and state agencies and a wide range of networks and staying current on credible information, which I will pass on to you through social media. Our monthly newsletter will contain updates on services and programs as I receive them.
Please contact my office at 203 577-4166, or e-mail jcappelletti@middlebury-ct.org if I can be of any help to you during this crucial time.
JoAnn Cappelletti, Director of Elderly & Social Services
