Neighborhood Help during Social Distancing

OWANA has at least a dozen volunteers who have offered to be a helping hand to anyone who needs assistance with deliveries of food, groceries, or medication during the outbreak.
If you or someone you know is at greater health risk for leaving  home or simply unable to get out, please send an email to chair@owana.org with “Old West Austin Help Request” in the subject line with the following info:
1. Your name
2. Your address in the Old West Austin/Clarksville Neighborhood.
3. A phone number where a volunteer can reach you.
4. General description of your need and how soon you need it.

Once we have that information, we’ll share it with one of our volunteers and they will reach out to you directly to get more details. Please let us know if you have any questions.
