A Special Appreciation
Thank you to the CPLF staff for the work they’re doing to support our most vulnerable individuals during this unprecedented time. I have been extremely impressed with the innovation and speed at which CPLF staff have altered all programming and outreach to support those we serve. Together, CPLF has successfully adapted to a pandemic of epic proportions and now we must remain diligent until life can return to normal.
Please read through the following resources and notices for up-to-date information on how our organization is prioritizing the safety of our community.
Together, we will get through this. –

If there are no appointments available, you may take an at home rapid antigen test that you may purchase at a local drug store. For more information on how to correctly do a test at home, watch the video tutorial.
