Friend,
With the coronavirus outbreak growing more serious across the country, the health and safety of our community is my top priority. Coping with the COVID-19 outbreak has been stressful, whether you’re assisting in taking care of elderly, raising a family, or self-isolating, this crisis is affecting us all.
Due to this public health crisis continuing to severely impact us, I have ceased my campaign operation to focus solely on combating this global pandemic and protecting our community. I have also been determined to make sure our first responders and hospitals have the resources they need during this crisis.
As a part of our effort to combat this public health crisis it is imperative our community has real-time information. For updated information please visit the Montgomery County COVID-19 hub or Bucks County health services.
With the growing uncertainty and fear throughout the country, I have been blown away by how our community has come together to support one another. I have received many requests asking how you can help, and I wanted to pass along information about both local and national organizations that you can help support:
Bucks County Local Hospitals
Support by donating funds, medical supplies, or food and care packages
Montgomery Local Hospitals
Support by donating funds, medical supplies, or food and care packages
Monto Anti-Hunger Network
Supporting those facing food insecurity
MontCoPA COVID-19 Response Fund
Supporting non-profit organizations on the front lines helping Montgomery County's most vulnerable populations during this crisis
RSVP of Montgomery County
Sign up to volunteer your time to assist our county's most vulnerable residents in this time of crisis
Your Way Home
Providing emergency and permanent housing to those in need
Feeding Pennsylvania

The Red Cross is in critical need due to the outbreak as blood drives continue to be canceled. Please consider making an appointment to donate lifesaving blood, platelets and AL Elite plasma
However you choose to help your neighbors at this critical time, I want you to know I am doing everything I can in Washington to support relief efforts, fund free testing kits and critical medical supplies, and put a stop to this global threat as soon as possible.
I also encourage you to visit www.coronavirus.gov to access helpful tips and ways to keep yourself and your loved ones safe during this outbreak, including:
- Washing your hands
- Cleaning frequently touched objects and surfaces
- Avoiding contact with those who are sick
- Staying home if you are sick
Finally, let us remember to be kind to one another during this scary and difficult time. Thank you to those who are leaving their families and the safety of their homes, exposing themselves every day, to provide essential services to our community. To our grocery store workers, pharmacists, health care providers, transit workers, and all others putting themselves at risk, we thank you.
Together, we will overcome this crisis just as we have done before.
Thank you and stay well,
Brian Fitzpatrick
