Dear Valued Community Supporter,
For the past few weeks, A Precious Child has been closely monitoring the spread of COVID-19 throughout the United States and we have been following guidance from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and local health authorities to ensure we have the right plans and resources in place to safeguard your health and well-being. Here are some steps we are taking and steps we are asking of you to ensure we are all being proactive with safety.
What we are doing:
- Our daily cleaning procedures are already thorough at A Precious Child; however, we are taking extra time to clean and disinfect so that our facility remains a safe and welcome space for clients, volunteers, donors and staff. Our dedicated team is wiping down and disinfecting all carts, desks, tables, handles, knobs, etc. on an hourly basis with extra vigilance
- We are using air purifiers as well increasing ventilation in our facility
- We are providing volunteers and staff who are directly handling donations with disposable gloves
- We are placing hand sanitizer stations throughout our organization
- We are reminding donors to clean and wash all items before donating
- We are requiring volunteers and families we serve to reschedule their shift or appointment if not feeling well
- We love to welcome donors, volunteers and clients with a handshake or a hug, however, our staff will be refraining from contact as much as possible for the time being (smiles still included)
- We have asked our team to use extra caution when evaluating their own personal health and will have staff go home if they are not feeling well
What we ask of you:
- We ask if you are not feeling well, please stay home! We know how committed everyone is to volunteer and donate, however, we want to make sure everyone is healthy
- Volunteers are greatly needed at this time, however if you are over the age of 60, have a compromised immune system or are a member of a vulnerable population, we ask that you stay home. Please inform [email protected] if you are unable to attend your shift
- Frequently wash your hands with soap and water for more than 20 seconds
- Increase ventilation in your work space, home and while driving
- It is recommended you have a 14-day food supply at home for you and your family
All of us at A Precious Child want to thank you for your on-going support. We will continue to keep you updated. The health and well-being of our donors, volunteers, families and team members are our highest priority.
In good health,
