Our Senior Residents are at high risk and advised not to leave site. They are relying on us and our Mobile Food Pantry, more than ever. We need more hands to implement our new precautions to deliver directly to residents so they do not gather in groups. We will be using every precaution to keep everyone healthy. Visit our Mobile Food Pantry Calendar to see all of our upcoming dates and times. https://phoenixfamily.secure.force.com/GW_Volunteers__VolunteersJobListingFS?campaignId=701f300000167UK&fbclid=IwAR31-6KCzhJ-gKULpKha-zsA5fIqbFrEtYMvCf73NSQ69Op5qj4bucwFF3o

3. Volunteers should be asked to re-wash their hands if they sneeze, cough or touch their face.
