Dear Threads Volunteers,
After much consideration and discussion with Jill Gossett and with our partnering agencies, Midtown Assistance Center, etc.,
we have decided to close Threads this coming Saturday and until further notice
.
Most of our Threads volunteers are retired folks and many of the families we serve are in bad health, which is not a good combination at this time on the planet! I am working on other ways to serve our families and to provide emergency supplies to shelters, etc.
Jenny at Midtown Assistance Center told me that they are in the same boat with older volunteers and health compromised clients. She intends to keep a skeleton staff until they are asked to close completely. Importantly, they are going to focus on helping with money and food.
Please continue to participate in our food drive for Midtown Assistance Center because if the schools close, the kids will need to have access to food.
We did not see any clients today and I only had one volunteer.
Please feel free to reach out to me with questions, concerns or great ideas!!
Stay positive and remember you are loved,
Lori
Threads Coordinator
