Message from the Mayor Gary W. Waters
I would like to thank all of our businesses and residents for navigating the COVID-19 pandemic with resilience. With the vaccine rollout underway, we will do everything we can to keep the process moving forward, whether it's providing logistical support to the ADPH, hosting a clinic, or deploying personnel to help with the distribution of vaccines. Keep up to date with our website, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter accounts. We will continue to push information out as it becomes available.
Shelby County is not under any additional requirements than the restrictions implemented at the state level. For guidance:

- Center for Disease Control

SHOP LOCAL DURING COVID-19
We encourage citizens to continue to support Pelham’s businesses and restaurants. Below are a few constructive ways to support our local and small businesses at this time.
- Buy gift cards or certificates: A little here and there can hold small businesses over
- Shop online: Check Facebook, Instagram, and other social media outlets for business websites or stores
- Order takeout and/or use drive-through and curbside pick-up options
- Tip generously
- If you are a business with employees working extended hours, consider bringing in meals from a Pelham restaurant.
