COVID-19 Resources for Community Members
The City of Sandy appreciates that many members of our community may experience financial or other hardships during the COVID-19 epidemic. This page will be updated with resources available to those in need during this difficult time.
Remember, the City is providing Sandy Area Metro rides free of charge, and the Meals on Wheels program is still operating during the virus-related closures.
