Can you imagine waking up on Christmas Day without any family nearby or any presents to open? Unfortunately, this is a situation that many people find themselves in every Christmas. However, every year our Special Programs team and the communities in Precinct 2 come together with the Adopt-a-Resident Program to make sure more people get to have a great holiday season. 

Commissioner Garcia understands there are vulnerable populations we cannot leave behind during this pandemic. Our team is working on several initiatives that would support our homeless and ensure they have resources they need during this time.

We are proud to spotlight Purchasing Specialist, Lindy Garner, who went above and beyond to deliver excellent service to the constituents of Precinct 2. This past March, Lindy identified a need to increase accessibility into the Jim Fonteno Annex (JFA) for those with physical disabilities. Lindy proactively submitted a request for ADA-compliant door openers to be installed at the JFA, after seeing constituents struggle when entering and exiting the building.

Here at Precinct 2, our hearts go out to our community during this stressful, difficult time. With so many families forced to adjust their daily routines for such a lengthy period of time, we want to do our best in providing you with the resources you need to get through this. After all, we are #InIt2gether!

During this time, we are all trying to find creative ways to stay busy while we stay safe at home. Our Parks and Recreation team has been busy coming up with fun ideas to keep our families engaged and active.
