Coronavirus Cautions for Volunteers

As always, DO NOT deliver if you are sick (be mindful of fever and flu-like symptoms).
If a client leaves a cooler out, there is no need to go into the house. If entering the home, we encourage you to keep sanitizer in your car or use a paper towel (or some other cloth) when touching door knobs etc.
DO NOT have physical contact with clients. Please refrain from hugging, shaking hands etc. (They know we love them!)
Sneeze or cough into your arm (not your hands). Try NOT to touch your eyes, nose or mouth (face).
Notify us if you have any concerns regarding a client’s health.
Notify us if you have recently traveled outside the USA.

Cautions for Clients Receiving Meals

Please put a cooler or container outside your door for the volunteer to put your meal in. For the safety of both our volunteers and our clients, we would like to eliminate face-to-face contact until further notice.

Don't have a cooler?

If you do not have a cooler or some covered container for the volunteer to put your meal in, call our office at 610-430-8500. We will get you a cooler.

If you are unable to get to the door to retrieve your meal.

If you are unable to get up to retrieve your meal from a cooler (have limited mobility), most volunteers will bring your meal inside the home. Any problems or questions, give us a call at 610-430-8500.
