In light of recent health concerns, we wanted to speak to what the Good Food Box is doing to help prevent the spread of illness.
We have limited volunteers, so the amount of people who will be near the produce is FAR fewer than those who are in contact or near your food from grocery stores. We are ensuring that none of the volunteers are symptomatic at all, of course. We have always, and will continue to practice proper food safe behaviors. We will be reminding all of our volunteers to be extra mindful of these practices.
All surfaces and bins will be (as always) sanitized. We are using stronger concentrations of our cleaning solution .
We will be ensuring that only a couple of people at a time enter the buildings to pick up their boxes.
There will be a small station with hand sanitizer for everyone to use when they enter.
If you are displaying symptoms of illness, please do not come in to get your box(es). Please call the number for your pick up location (below) and someone will bring a box out to you. If you are ill and cannot come get your box, please have a friend or neighbor or family member pick up your box for you. If this turns out to be difficult, we MAY be able to assist you. We have very limited volunteers, but we may be able to arrange for a volunteer to bring your box to you. Please call Diane at 250-306-7800 if this is something you require.
