COVID-19 Resources

The Building Block of Natrona wants to do everything possible to help local residents cope with the COVID-19 virus that is spreading through the region. We will list as many resources as possible on this page that we feel may be of assistance.

We will post many of these on social media as well and add to this page frequently. If you know of any resource that should be included, please email us at office@everyblockcounts.org

This page is not intended to provide medical advice - seek guidance from medical professionals.

Please know that we intend to continue our monthly food and hygiene-product outreaches at the KOC hall in Natrona - every third Saturday at 1 pm. 

Be safe.
