Lockport Shield is a volunteer group of citizens dedicated to helping those most vulnerable to Covid19 in the City of Lockport, Bonnie Brae, Lockport Heights, and Fairmont. As our community works through the Fall COVID Surge, those who have a high risk of being hospitalized if infected, be it through age or pre-existing medical conditions, and choose to stay isolated for their protection are encouraged to ask Shield Volunteers for help.
Volunteers can do grocery runs, run simple errands, and take folks to the doctor so our community’s “At Risk” population can stay protected. Use the links below to either sign up as a Shield Volunteer or as a Citizen needing assistance. Lockport Love, a trusted volunteer 501c3 organization, will be the organizing arm of Lockport Shield. They will assign volunteers to At Risk citizens as close to their neighborhoods as possible. I would like to emphasize that no one deemed “At Risk†in Lockport will be forced to be a part of this initiative – it is completely voluntary, and no one is going to ask personal information of you. Your privacy will be respected.
Getting through the Fall Surge will require all our efforts and banding together to protect our most vulnerable citizens will be the highest form of service. I thank you all for your faith and dedication to our great city.
– Mayor Steve
