Shelter has protocols to address COVID-19 concerns

With confirmed cases of COVID-19 in nearby counties, the Community Shelter of Union County is taking enhanced steps to help keep our homeless population healthy.

Homeless and food-insecure people are particularly vulnerable to common health issues such as high blood pressure and the common cold – and now COVID-19 because they are residing and eating in a congregate setting.

While we know of no COVID-19 at our facility, we have implemented enhanced cleaning protocols and are working with the Union County Health Department, Emergency Management and Atrium Health to provide additional protections for our clients, volunteers and staff and to develop an emergency plan.

Want to help the Community Shelter fight the virus?

This pandemic is adding extra stress to our already stretched homeless service system.
