OUR RESPONSE TO THE COVID CRISIS

We are very pleased to have successfully remained open without interruption throughout the COVID crisis. Due to the tireless commitment and passion of our volunteers and staff, together with support from our generous donors, we have been able to meet the surge in demand for our services while implementing and maintaining strict adherence to suggested safety protocols.

We immediately instituted new practices according to the guidelines set forth by the CDC at the start of the pandemic in March 2020. These included shifting our distributions from in‐person to a contactless arrangement, mandating the use of masks for clients, staff and volunteers, setting up hand sanitizing stations, and requiring 6 feet of distance between people. We have also distributed free reusable cloth masks to clients and staff as needed.

We will continue to adapt to the CDC’s COVID‐19 changing guidelines to keep everyone as safe as possible while serving our community to the best of our ability, now and into the future.
