Temecula Wants To Share Uplifting Photos, Posts Amid Coronavirus

TEMECULA, CA — The city of Temecula wants to highlight how people are having fun at home throughout the coronavirus pandemic by sharing social media photos and acts of kindness posts from its residents.

“As Mayor, I’m incredibly inspired to see how quickly our community has transitioned to using technology — and, in some cases, not using technology to actually enjoy our beautiful surroundings. People are creating fun memories with their families, taking walks, and making the best of this challenging time," Temecula Mayor James "Stew" Stewart said.

City officials are seeing social media posts of people within the community and throughout neighborhoods at home — postings about time with family, baking, cleaning out garages, gardening, or delivering food for donations. Citizens are bringing hope and smiles amidst this worldwide crisis through social media, officials said.

Many of these images and posts are worth sharing, and the city would like to participate. Tag the city of Temecula (be sure your post is set to public) with hashtags #TemeculaFUNatHOME and #TemeculaFUN, so the city can give you or your family a shout out on Thursdays. If you cannot post to social media, share your photos with BriannaBorunda at brianna.borunda@temeculaca.gov.

The city will share inspiring posts that "spark joy, uplift spirits, and showcase our resilient community."

City officials are reminding people to continue the practice of safe social distancing of no less than 6 feet apart from others. Other reminders include: self-isolate if you are sick, cough or sneeze into your elbow, wash your hands often with soap and water for 20 seconds, clean and disinfect frequently used surfaces, and avoid touching your face.
