New Protocol When Picking Up Hampers
Practising social distancing protocols while waiting outside for assigned times is critical to ensure safe distances for clients, the staff and volunteers, and stop the spread of this virus.
• It is extremely important that clients arrive only at their assigned pick-up time.
• Clients arriving earlier than their assigned time does not mean they will be allowed to pick their hamper up earlier than scheduled.
• Clients who arrive later than their assigned time, will be asked to reschedule for another time.
• Clients arriving without an appointment, will not receive a hamper. (You will be asked to phone and book an appointment time the next day we are open.)
We understand this is not ideal but we are focusing on trying to meet the demand in an unprecedented scenario.
NOTE: Each hamper includes the essentials for your household. We appreciate your patience as we make sure we can feed Dryden with our resources of staff, volunteers and food at this unprecedented time. We have a very limited capacity to accommodate special requests for hampers. Hygiene and cleaning supplies requests cannot be guaranteed.
