Homebound parishioners will be checked on by the extraordinary minister that takes communion to them or a staff member.

If you are not typically homebound but in the vulnerable catagory and an emergency situation arises, we have a list of volunteers who are willing to respond to emergency needs.  Please contact Judy Harness or Jenny French for the list if the need arises.  Emergency needs include:

• Can't leave home and need food or supplies
• Need to get to the hospital as symptoms worsened by not bad enough for 911
• Need medication picked up
• Need a meal (can be delivered by local restaurant or if the volunteer has time, take a homemade meal.
• Anything that causes the feeling of being alone.

• Frequently wash hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.  If soap and water are not readily available use hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.
• Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue or use the inside of your elbow.
• Clean frequently touched objects and surfaces.
• Limit close contact with others as much as possible (about 6 feet).
