COVID-19 Volunteer Guidelines (Updated 07/29/2022)
Because of the close proximity of volunteers working at our events, we recommend that all volunteers (ages 9+) be fully vaccinated (including boosters, if eligible) at least TWO weeks prior to our
event date.
Please consult the Virginia Dept. of Health (VDH) for vaccine and booster guidelines.
Please do not volunteer if, in the last 10 days, you or someone with whom you reside have:
• Had any of the symptoms of COVID-19 as identified by the Centers
for Disease Control,
• Received a positive COVID-19 test, or are waiting on COVID-19 test results,
• Been exposed to anyone who has COVID-19, and/or
• Been asked to quarantine or isolate.
If you have recently traveled, the VDH recommends testing prior to attending the event.
Volunteering is not recommended if you, or someone with whom you reside, are at high risk for developing severe COVID-19 illness.
Wearing a mask is optional, but subject to change if COVID-19 Community Levels for our area are
high.
All volunteers must be signed up on our event SignUpGenius and must be healthy, with no symptoms of any illness or infection.
Student volunteers (ages 9-14) must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
Even with all of these precautions, Food For Neighbors is unable to guarantee that volunteers will not contract COVID-19 and/or other illnesses.
