How do you help ensure the safety of those receiving and providing assistance during the COVID-19 pandemic?
All volunteers are required to follow the recommendations of the CDC and agree not to volunteer if they are sick, have symptoms of COVID-19, or have knowingly come in contact with anyone who is ill or showing signs of the disease.
We also ask anyone receiving services to let us know if they or anyone in their household has been diagnosed with COVID-19 or is showing symptoms of the virus or if they or anyone in their home has been around anyone who is sick or showing signs of COVID-19. Please see the CDC's recommendations here. The CDC's list of COVID-19 symptoms can be found here.
