This is hard. We must help each other, and we must be resilient. Every one of us likely has feelings of sadness, anxiety or anger. Being patient and kind to one another and finding ways to support our neighbors and our loved ones is how, together, we’ll see our way through the very difficult personal and economic challenges many people are experiencing. Reach out if you or someone you care about needs help. Offer help to those who need it, and accept it from those who offer.
Week of Gratitude - #BlockTheReboundKitsap
This entire week is dedicated to all who are working to keep us safe and healthy during the coronavirus pandemic. We are able to stay home and stay healthy because of their work.
Today we thank the public works and utility workers who keep our infrastructure operational and safe. These workers maintain our sewers and stormwater systems, roads and traffic signs, remove our solid waste, keep the power and internet on, and ensure our water is clean and safe to drink.
