COVID SAFETY PROTOCOL

2- If after you participate in any gathering, and develop any symptoms please email us immediately and seek testing. We will want to notify everyone who has participated in that particular gathering anonymously and we will ask that group of people to also seek testing and suggest CDC recommendations on quarantine. If there is a known case of positive Covid-19, that entire group of volunteers will be asked to not return for 14 days.
3-We have drastically cut down on volunteers allowed at our outreaches. This is to limit the possibilities of transmitting the virus while also promoting capabilities of continued social distancing. We have also created sign up links to be able to communicate and keep track of our volunteers!
4- Masks, gloves and often sanitizing of hands is required. Please do your best to keep 6ft between you and anyone we are serving as well as serving next to. We also require that volunteers not carpool to and from our outreaches unless they are part of the same house-hold. When working with any surface please participate with staff as we sanitize every surface we work on often.
5- If you have/had Covid-19 we ask that you seek rest and full recovery. Please let us know how we ask a community may serve you in this time. We ask that you not return in person as a volunteer until 14 days after your positive test.
We pray that the heart of the precautions is clear. We come to serve and love some of the most vulnerable of our city. We want to do that to the best of our ability. We have sought wisdom from professionals in this field and will continue to sharpen our processes as best as possible. Please allow us grace as we do so, we realize that there are many sacrifices our volunteers make for those we serve, and we honor them. We could not be more grateful for this community. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact us.
