COVID-19 Precautions

/

Like many people in our community we are listening to the caution by our leadership. Our physical office at 400 Cushman is currently closed so that we can keep each other safe. We are available by phone or email. We have an active Facebook page! We intend to have a Coalition ZOOM meeting on April 2nd at 10am. We will be sending out invitations to all of our partners, If you would like an invitation please contact Linda at reentry@iacnvl.org. With closures, interrupted services, social distancing it can feel very apocalyptic.

We are coming up with a list of things that we can do to help our community here is a place to start:

  • Volunteer to provide emergency supplies for the homeless and vulnerable

  • Drop off supplies at the shelters.

  • Write a letter to an inmate in one of our institutions that can’t have visitors or groups

  • Order food “to go” from your favorite restaurant, buy a gift certificate or two

  • Listen to books, podcasts, Ted Talks and learn something new

  • Laugh, listen to music, go for a walk

  • List three good things that happened today in your journal

  • Practice gratitude

  • Be Kind to all

In all this give people their personal space of 6 feet, wash your hands and keep surfaces clean. I am sure that like me you can’t always tell whose immune system is compromised. I am supposing that I have been exposed and that I need to care for those around me like I am the carrier.

Stay well, we will get through this together as a community!
