COVID-19 VACCINATION INFORMATION
Vaccines are Safe
Vaccines are safe, effective, and a key strategy to protect you and the people around you from serious illness. Once you are vaccinated, you should STILL WEAR A MASK until the Center for Disease Control instructs otherwise. Also, continue hand washing and physical distancing.
Vaccines Administered in Phases
Vaccine availability will initially be limited and therefore must be distributed in a phased approach. For a complete description, click below.

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.
Service is continuing in all chapters
Currently, all food providers are still providing meals for Meals on Wheels. There has not been any interruption in service.
