Feria del condado de San Diego pospuesta para 2021<\/h3>\n
Based on Gov. Gavin Newsom\u2019s press conference on April 14, mass gatherings are not likely to be allowed for the foreseeable future. Therefore, it is the decision to postpone the San Diego County Fair to 2021. The postponement of the Fair was announced at the monthly 22nd District Agricultural Association board of directors meeting at the Del Mar Fairgrounds on April 14.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe health and safety of our community take precedence during this unprecedented time of crisis,\u201d said Tim Fennell, CEO\/general manager of the Del Mar Fairgrounds. \u201cThe San Diego County Fair is a beloved family tradition for more than 1.5 million San Diegans each year, as well as a source of livelihood for numerous individuals and businesses. Yet with the continued impacts of COVID-19, postponing this year\u2019s fair is the right thing to do.\u201d<\/p>\n
This fair\u2019s theme couldn\u2019t be more relevant: Heroes, Unite!<\/p>\n
\u201cNow, more than ever, we\u2019re acutely aware that some of our very greatest heroes walk among us. We are so thankful to the healthcare workers and first responders who are keeping our communities safe, the teachers who keep our children learning and the countless community heroes who are going to extraordinary efforts to help others during this great time of need,\u201d Fennell said. \u201cThat\u2019s why we\u2019ll be proud to carry this theme through to next year\u2019s fair \u2013 honoring the heroes who continue to emerge throughout our community.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tomar la decisi\u00f3n de posponer la feria de este a\u00f1o no fue tarea f\u00e1cil. Sin embargo, como el evento anual m\u00e1s grande en el condado de San Diego y una de las cinco ferias m\u00e1s importantes de Am\u00e9rica del Norte, est\u00e1n siguiendo las recomendaciones de los funcionarios de salud p\u00fablica de posponer las reuniones masivas hasta que sea seguro organizarlas nuevamente.<\/p>\n
For now, the fairgrounds are currently on standby to be utilized for Emergency Operations Services at any time. \u201cWe\u2019ve partnered with the San Diego Food Bank to serve as a food distribution site, have donated several hundred N95 masks to health care providers and will continue looking for ways to serve the community,\u201d Fennell said.<\/p>\n

Mama\u2019s Kitchen hits sixth consecutive week of record meal deliveries<\/h3>\n
Mama\u2019s Kitchen, a local nonprofit meal delivery service dedicated to women, men and children vulnerable to hunger due to HIV, cancer, and other critical illnesses, including congestive heart failure and Type 2 diabetes, is working around the clock to maintain operations during the \u201cshelter-in-place\u201d mandate.<\/p>\n For the past six weeks, each delivery day has been a record delivery day. On Friday, April 10, Mama\u2019s Kitchen delivered 7,284 meals to 607 clients. This is already a 40% increase from just a few weeks ago before the mandate was issued.<\/p>\n Mama\u2019s Kitchen projects its clientele and meals served will continue to increase over the next two months due to the crisis.<\/p>\n As the pandemic progresses in our region, the organization has seen an increase in demand for its services to provide home-delivered nutrition to critically ill individuals and families who are most at risk to the devastating complications from COVID-19 given their compromised immune systems and chronic illnesses.<\/p>\n During these challenging times when everyone is encouraged to telecommute or stay home to avoid the virus, Mama\u2019s Kitchen provides an opportunity to help those in need.<\/p>\n Mama\u2019s Kitchen is still accepting referrals for new clients, and does not have a waiting list. As always, the organization\u2019s goal is to never turn away a qualified individual.<\/p>\n The nonprofit is still accepting backup volunteer applications. Those interested in supporting Mama\u2019s Kitchen\u2019s efforts can visit mamaskitchen.org\/volunteer to learn more.<\/p>\n Mama\u2019s Kitchen has also established an Emergency Response Fund to support increased expenses due to the response efforts. With the distribution of stimulus checks coming down the pipeline, the organization invites the community to give back to nonprofit organizations in need so they can continue supporting our local community members in need.<\/p>\n Continuing efforts to make City resources available in the fight against COVID-19, Mayor Kevin L. Faulconer today announced the San Diego Public Library is producing hundreds of protective face shields for local hospital workers to flatten the curve.<\/p>\n Faulconer was joined on April 9 by Chris Van Gorder, president and CEO of Scripps Health; Jane Finley, senior vice president and area manager for Kaiser Permanente; and Patrick Stewart, CEO of the San Diego Public Library Foundation.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re going to use every tool we have to protect our hospital staff and first responders in the fight against COVID-19 and that requires thinking outside the box,\u201d said Faulconer. \u201cThese machines, once used for class projects and entrepreneurs, are now exclusively used to produce face shields and save lives in our local hospitals. This is a great partnership between so many San Diegans to provide innovative solutions to combat this deadly disease.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hillcrest Farmers Market reopens Sunday Classified by the State of California as an essential food service, the Hillcrest Farmers Market will be open utilizing new social distancing and safety protocols on Sunday, April 19 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. The weekly Sunday market has been closed since March 15 out of an abundance of […]<\/p>","protected":false},"author":726,"featured_media":255513,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"11555","_seopress_titles_title":"Uptown News Briefs: April 17, 2020","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","jnews-multi-image_gallery":[],"jnews_single_post":[],"jnews_primary_category":[],"jnews_social_meta":[],"jnews_override_counter":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[11547,11551,11555],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-255512","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-features","category-news","category-uptown-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/test.sdnews.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/255512","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/test.sdnews.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/test.sdnews.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/test.sdnews.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/726"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/test.sdnews.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=255512"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/test.sdnews.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/255512\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/test.sdnews.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/255513"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/test.sdnews.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=255512"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/test.sdnews.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=255512"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/test.sdnews.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=255512"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Uptown](\"https:\/\/sduptownnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2436.jpg\")
