Subject: Return of the Volunteers!

Getting Back to Work
Dear Volunteers, 

For two months we have been closely following the City's guidelines and CDC recommendations in terms of our volunteers and ReStores. Now that our ReStores have reopened and Partner Families are back on site, we are ready to lift the volunteer suspension.  In this phase group sizes will be limited and certain activities like meal provision will be unavailable. Please read through the following safety and scheduling guidelines.

See you soon, 

Kimberly Wallace
Volunteer Engagement Associate
 
Scheduling: 
Partner families will continue to have  priority scheduling.

Tuesdays and Thursdays will be reserved  for regular volunteers working in groups of five. 

Saturdays will be reserved for companies, churches, and organizations working in one group of five. 

ReStore groups can be scheduled Tuesday through Saturday. 

There is a 3 hour minimum for volunteering.

Construction work will begin at 9 am and anyone who missed the safety briefing will be asked to reschedule.

Upon arrival all staff and volunteers will be required to fill out a questionnaire in regards to their health and travels.

New health and safety procedures will become part of our daily safety briefings.

All staff and volunteers will be required to wear masks while working inside the ReStores or homes. 

Tools will be sanitized daily and in between uses. 

Staff members will continue to wipe down frequently touched areas multiple times a day and sanitize in between customers.
