WE ARE STILL SERVING OUR COMMUNITY DURING THE COVID 19 CRISIS.
OUR NUMBER ONE PRIORITY IS THE SAFETY OF OUR VOLUNTEERS AND OUR CLIENTS.
HERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT WE OUR DOING AT THE SOUP KITCHEN TO KEEP EVERYONE SAFE.
WE HAVE CLOSED DOWN OUR LOBBY, BUT WE ARE STILL SERVING A HOT NUTRITIOUS MEAL TO GO,
SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY FROM 11:30 AM TO 1:00 PM AND A SACK LUNCH ON SATURDAY’S FROM 11:30 AM TO NOON.
WE ARE CLEANING AND SANITIZING OUR KITCHEN MORE FREQUENTLY.
WE ALSO HAVE A CLEANER COME IN AFTER HOURS TO SANITIZE ALL WORK AREAS.
WE HAVE ASKED OUR VOLUNTEERS TO WASH THEIR HANDS AND CHANGE THEIR GLOVES MORE OFTEN THROUGH-OUT THE DAY.
WE HAVE ASKED OUR VOLUNTEERS THAT ARE NOT FEELING WELL, OR THAT HAVE HEALTH ISSUES THAT MAY BE EASILY COMPROMISED TO PLEASE STAY HOME.
WE WILL GET THROUGH THIS, TOGETHER!
