South Orange and Maplewood announce the COVID-19: SOMA Senior Support Fund
As our community takes necessary precautions to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, we want to take special steps to support some of our older residents. Our older South Orange and Maplewood residents are the most vulnerable to this disease . If you are an older resident in need of assistance, please fill out the contact form on this page, or call (973) 558-0863. All information will be kept confidential

Last year, local photographer Joy Yagid, interviewed several older residents, capturing their stories of growing up in a time before vaccines. Some of the stories seem familiar, especially now, with shutdowns and quarantines. To see the video, click here: "A Time Before Vaccines"
