Everyone can be good at
MAKING A DIFFERENCE.
IMPORTANT HEALTH & SAFETY NOTICE:
Now, more than ever, Second Harvest Food Bank is being called upon to support people who are facing food insecurity in our community. We cannot provide these services without support from volunteers.
To protect the health of our volunteers and staff, we have made changes to our volunteer program, reducing the number of volunteers at each shift and cutting non-essential projects.
If you can answer "YES" to any of these questions, we ask that you stay home and plan to volunteer with us another time:
-
Are you running a fever (101.4 or above)?
-
Have you or anyone in your household tested positive for COVID within the last 14 days?
-
Have you or anyone in your household been exposed to someone who has tested positive for COVID in the last 14 days?
