Operating a food bank in the COVID-19 world
We continue to monitor updates from Ottawa Public Health, and we are working closely with Ottawa Food Bank to keep our shelves stocked with food and other necessary emergency supplies. Along with most of our peers, we have switched from choice-based options to a "hamper-style" service, where volunteers and staff pre-pack bags with available foods for a quicker, simpler turnaround. In our case, we also re-located our order-filling zone from the back end of the Bronson Centre building to the front lobby off Bronson Avenue. This open space gives us the ability to offer both our servers and clients a buffer of "social distance".
Today was a good day, because we were able to meet the demand in our community. And yet it is an "early day" in how we will deal with our new reality. Staff and dedicated volunteers served over 150 bags of goods from the main lobby area in the Bronson Centre. We expect to be open again, at the same time (10:30 am), in the same place on Thursday, March 19th.
Groups such as ours cannot function without dedicated staff and committed volunteers. We thank everyone that came out today, and those that will pitch in tomorrow.
We'd like to thank management/staff at The Bronson Centre for accommodating this tenant's changing needs, and we'd be remiss to not show appreciation to the full team at Ottawa Food Bank.
Bye for now.
Stay tuned to Twitter & Facebook for "on the go" notes as we navigate this path.
