June 2020
This situation is fluid and subject to change.
Click on the links to see each level's safety measures and what that means for each program area.
These increased safety measures may include, but not be limited to: eliminating face-to-face interviews for services and use phone interviews; slow down or pause some services; transition noon meal from on site to take out; pause or modify TEFAP distribution; restrict access to the building and/or pause using the lobby as a “hang out” location by our guests.
Our priorities through this challenging time are to ensure we continue to meet the needs of our community in regard to food insecurity, social capital, emergency housing, and a social resources hub. We also will be committed to the safety of our team, guests, and volunteers.
If you are a volunteer or lead a group of volunteers and have a concern, please reach out to Bryan Smith directly at 717-272-4400 x 210 or by email at bryan@lccm.us.
