Here at Outreach we take the safety and health of everyone at Outreach very seriously and we understand that this virus is creating even more economic hardship and uncertainty than usual. We are committed to staying open on a limited basis for the duration of this outbreak unless it becomes impossible for us to do so. We have taken the following steps to ensure everyone’s safety and health:

● Client access to Community of Christ Church will be restricted (exceptions will be

restroom access, and new client intake). Emergency food distribution will take place

at the door only

● The Clothing Closet will be closed.

● Extra cleaning measures have already been taken and all volunteers that are

handling food items and sorting clothing have been instructed to wear protective

gloves.

● Any volunteers that are in an at risk category or are uncomfortable coming in have

been advised to stay home.

● Our Table of Plenty lunch program is cancelled.

Hopefully, these measures are an overabundance of caution. As things change day to day, we will adjust these procedures accordingly as needed. We urge everyone to pray. Pray for health, pray for guidance, pray for our medical responders, our leadership. Pray for our families and friends. Stay home as much as possible and WASH YOUR HANDS.
