Updates on City of San José Services and/or Operations
  • Almaden Community Center Senior Nutrition Program: Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the City of San José Parks, Recreation, and Neighborhood Services Department's Senior Nutrition Program (SNP) has been a vital resource, providing meals to a vulnerable population in the Almaden Community Center area.

    The center has experienced a surge of SNP participation, resulting in additional traffic and causing delays and inconvenience to the residents in that area.

    To better serve the residents who need assistance and to help reduce traffic delays and inconvenience in that area, the SNP program is encouraging participants to consider visiting nearby community center locations to receive meals. SNP participants are also being asked to refrain from parking in red zones and to expect delays and limited parking during meal pick-up times.

    Visit our website for more information on the City of San José's 14 Senior Nutrition Program sites, or for general information on Food Distribution programs in our communities.

  • County COVID-19 Vaccine Raffles: The County of Santa Clara, the SAP Center, the Golden State Warriors, and the City of San José are collaborating to raffle off more than 100 tickets to upcoming events and other prizes to anyone who gets a COVID-19 vaccine at select County-run vaccination sites* in the next few weeks, ending July 28.

    If you get vaccinated between July 21 and July 27, you will be entered to win tickets to Bad Bunny (3/3/22), The Weekend (3/9/22) or Evanescence & Halestorm (11/9/21). The raffle for these prizes will take place on July 28 on the Santa Clara Public Health    Department's Instagram Live (@scc_publichealth) feed.

    County test sites provide COVID-19 tests free of charge, regardless of immigration status, and no doctor's note is needed. For people without COVID-19 symptoms, the County currently offers indoor and drive-through sites. People with symptoms are directed to drive-through sites to reduce the chance of getting others sick.

    All healthcare systems are required by the County order to offer free testing to symptomatic persons, persons who have been exposed to a confirmed COVID-19 case, and all essential workers. For more information on testing rights, see our Frequently Asked Questions page.

    All test sites are mapped on the County's website at www.sccfreetest.org. The site is available in English, Spanish, Vietnamese, Chinese, and Tagalog. Information is also available by calling 2-1-1.
