COVID-19 Update
As we plan how to safely re-open sites to volunteers amid the COVID-19 pandemic, we are planning some changes to our procedures. Before registering for a shift, please review these new safety measures:
- If you are experiencing any symptoms related to COVID-19 or have been exposed to someone with COVID-19 please stay home.
- All volunteers will be required to wear masks for the duration of their session (masks can be cloth, surgical, N95, etc.) We encourage volunteers to bring their own masks.
- All volunteers will have their temperature checked and go through a verbal symptom screening upon arrival. Temperatures must be under 100.4°F in order to pack.
- Volunteer group size is limited to five people. Please note that you will not be socially distanced from anyone you choose to sign up with. You will be socially distanced from any other groups in the packing room. If you sign up as an individual, you will likely be paired with another volunteer but will still be six feet from each other (at opposite ends of our packing stations).
- If you or anyone in your group develops symptoms while packing, you and your entire group will be asked to leave immediately.
- The packing setup has been changed to accommodate groups ranging in size from one to five.
- The minimum volunteer age has been temporarily increased to ten.
- If you are in a high risk category, please stay home.
- A reservation is required to pack. No walk-ins can be accepted.
- Service hour verification is temporarily suspended.
- Please be aware of local government restrictions for your area, especially pertaining to travel.
