Newspaper Page TextSIUSLAW NEWS | SATURDAY, APRIL 18, 2020 | 5A CHILDREN from page 1A According to DHS, the pandemic is highlighting the lack of access to med- ical care, limiting face time with mandated reporters and keeping children in close contact with people at risk of infection with COVID-19. DHS encourages com- munity members to check in with at-risk families — including young children, children and adults with developmental delays or other medical vulnerabil- ities, isolated children and families, and youth and families with severe emo- tional/mental health needs — through phone, email or by safe distance. Mann-Heintz said that people in her neighborhood came up with a unique way to benefit others. “We had a child and mom come by and make sidewalk chalk mosaics in our drive- ways. It was really cool! It was just this cute little cre- ative beautification project,” she said. Other neighborhoods are doing nightly sound- offs, both to show appre- ciation for healthcare and other essential workers but also as way to indicate that they are there and able to make noise. People are also checking in by dropping off packages of food and other needed items. Access to food is another challenge that the pandemic is exacerbating, according to DHS. “In Florence, one of the biggest issues here, for fam- ilies especially, is that our free and reduced lunch rate hovers between 62-68 per- cent,” Mann-Heintz report- ed. “And I’m sure it’s gone worry about es will continue to be avail- that.
