Even now that the severe threat of Covid-19 is behind us, our primary concern is the safety and well being of our clients and volunteer staff. With that said, we continue to encourage safe meal delivery practices.
Moving forward, we will no longer require this that you receive your meals in a cooler with ice. However, we continue to encourage it whenever physically possible as the risk is still out there.
We are asking if you do not use a cooler that you are available to answer your door to receive your meal. We strongly recommend if you choose not to use the cooler and ice and are high risk due, you wear a mask to protect yourself.
Also, if you are experiencing any cold or flu like symptoms we ask that you please use the cooler with ice to help us keep our volunteers and staff safe as well.

Due to the recent spike in cases from the Delta variant, (averaged at about 129,000 daily new cases over the last 7 days), we will be once again enforce our mask policies regardless of whether or not the individual is vaccinated. Clients are asked to make sure that they are leaving coolers with ice out so that are drivers may place your meals into the coolers. Our Volunteers are asked to wear a mask when / if they come in contact with our clients.

Meals on Wheels of Charlotte County is continuing to monitor reports as they pertain to the COVID-19 (aka Corona virus). We've instituted measures to ensure the safety, of our clients.
We are approaching as follows...
· Approval of Voluntary Home Isolation: Stay home when you are sick with respiratory disease symptoms. At the present time, these symptoms are more likely due to influenza or other respiratory viruses than to COVID-19-related virus. We are however, proactively, continuously communicating to employees to not come to work if they are feeling sick or have flu-like symptoms.
· We have reminders in place concerning proper hygiene. Respiratory Etiquette: Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue, then throw it in the trash can. Hand Hygiene: Wash hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds; especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing. Environmental Health Action: Routine cleaning of frequently touched surfaces and objects
· We are in process of gathering documentation from our supplier / vendor community along with having conversations about their food safety practices and associated proactive measures.
We are committed to minimizing any disruption, by putting these measures in place. We will be transparent with our communications as this situation evolves.
