Meal Groups-August 30, 2022 Changes

Effective August 30, 2022, the following changes are in effect for groups providing a meal at the shelter:

• The previous maximum size of groups of 6 total is no longer in effect.
• Masking is no longer required. Volunteers who are experiencing symptoms of respiratory illness (i.e., common cold/flu/etc.) are asked to stay home and will be required to mask if they choose to volunteer while actively displaying symptoms.
• Volunteers can join clients in the dining room.

Changes from July 1, 2022 that are still in effect and will remain so for the future.

• We have transitioned back to reusable trays/plates, cups, and utensils. Groups are responsible for washing all dishes made during their meal-this includes all items used in cooking, serving, and the items used by clients in the dining hall (trays/plates, cups, and utensils). Groups can bring disposable items to decrease number of dishes if they choose.

If you have any questions about these changes, please reach out to Victoria Robinson at (704) 261-3496 or Victoria.Robinson@UnionShelter.org
