The Town of Parker recently put together this great information sheet about what local entity does what?

The Town of Parker government is proud to provide extensive public services to the residents of Parker.

COVID-19 and Vaccination Updates – Register for Vaccine offline

By

Douglas County Covid-19 Update

Tri-County Health Department adds operators to call center to help people without internet access register with vaccine providers

Information provided by the Tri-County Health Department

Tri-County Health Department call center

To continue to distribute the COVID-19 vaccine equitably, Tri-County Health Department’s COVID-19 call center staff will now help people 65+ who do not have internet or speak English register with COVID-19 vaccine providers. Staff members will be acting as navigators during this process, entering basic contact information while working with the caller. Although the waitlists of some providers ask for medical information during registration, call center staff will simply enter such information into the online form if needed but will not retain any personal information.  The service is free, Spanish-speaking staff are available, and other languages are available through a language line.

So far, over 260,000 vaccine doses have been administered to 179,294 Tri-County Health Department (TCHD) area residents in Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas Counties through 146 enrolled providers and community partners, including clinics, hospitals, pharmacies, churches, and rec centers. Over 14% of TCHD’s residents have received at least their first dose, including 59.9% of TCHD’s 70+ population. In Douglas County, nearly 17% of residents have received at least their first dose, including 71.5% of the 70+ population.

The expanded work of the call center will support TCHD’s Strategy to Ensure Equitable COVID-19 Vaccine Access, which is a plan to ensure fair access and distribution of the vaccine to communities of color and other groups who have been immensely affected by the pandemic and are currently under-vaccinated compared to other groups. The TCHD call center hopes to connect these underserved communities with vaccine providers to ensure equitable distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine.

The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment and TCHD community partners are also helping ensure equitable distribution by holding “Pop-up” vaccine clinics in these underserved communities to help make access to the vaccine easier for people who may not have transportation or the means to get to a medical center or large vaccine event.

“Pop-up clinics” are one-time events sponsored by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment and community partners, using vaccine provided by the State’s Vaccine Equity allocation. Thus far, 24 pop-up clinics have been held or are scheduled in TCHD’s area. These clinics will provide additional vaccinations to over 8,000 people. In addition to pop-up clinics, TCHD is assessing where to place ongoing fixed community based clinics that can best offer local vaccine access on a regular basis when more vaccine supply is available.

The TCHD COVID-19 Call Center is open for people who live in the Tri-County Health Department area from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Call 303-220-9200 for more information or for assistance with online registration. The state of Colorado’s call center can also help people register and is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Call 1-877-CO VAX CO (1-877-268-2926).

Gluten Free Peanut Free Eating Options in Parker

By

More and more peanut and gluten allergies and sensitivities are coming up and families in Parker want to know where they can go out to eat and be safe. We had a tremendous response to this list and have added tips from local families.

Gluten Free:

Indochine Cuisine in the Parker Station building on Mainstreet maintains a gluten-free kitchen. Even their tempura and rolls are gluten-free. They can have vegetarian and vegan options on their menu.

Parker Garage has several Gluten Free options, and some can be made gluten-free with the switch of the bun.

Posh Pastries offers gluten-free bakery good and gluten-free flour is for sale there as well. (Not Celiac Safe)

Wave the Grain Bakery in Littleton delivers to “The Local” on Mainstreet and their offerings are delicious! They have savory & sweet treats.

Brickhouse has an entire gluten free menu, just ask your server.

Panera and Noodles have gluten free options.

Casa Mariachi – Just ask the server.

Panera has a few gluten-free salads and soups, check their website for the latest as they change seasonally.

Both Sprouts and Vitamin Cottage also have a large variety of gluten free packaged food as well as Kings, Safeway, Walmart and a large variety at Costco.

Suchine is a favorite of our family with celiac. We’ve had gf success at Dancing Noodle, Pho Vy, Opa’s Grill, and Chipoltle. Noodles also have GF options but are more limited, and the Wendy’s at Jordan & Lincoln can be really helpful in creating a GF meal in a pinch. There are several pizza places offering GF, but only a few try to be as allergy safe as they can. Those are Lil Ricci’s and Parry’s. Also, Coldstone does a great job of creating allergy-safe treats. We use them for kids’ birthdays and parties all the time.

Sweet ‘Ness cupcakes also has GF cupcakes. But, they are made in the same kitchen as the regular cupcakes are so not celiac safe.

Matt at Mauna Snoa Shave Ice says we are gluten-free, peanut-free, dairy-free. And it’s delicious!

Peanut Free/Safe:

In general most Mexican restaurants are peanut-free, we have some local moms writing up the lowdown on how to keep your kids safe when eating out.
