RESPONSE TO THE COVID-19 VIRUS NECESSITATED CHANGES AT THE MISSION IN A NUMBER OF AREAS. OVERNIGHT ACCOMMODATIONS FOR SHELTER GUESTS WERE REVISED, PERSONAL PORTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND ADDITIONAL CLEANING/SANITIZING SUPPLIES WERE PURCHASED, AN ADDITIONAL SITE FOR OVERNIGHT GUESTS WAS OPENED AS WELL AS PROVISION OF DAILY TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM THE SITE. THE PROCESS OF SERVING MEALS TO GUESTS CHANGED DRAMATICALLY. SUPPLIES WERE PURCHASED FOR MEALS TO BE PACKAGED AND DISTRIBUTED INDIVIDUALLY RATHER THAN BEING SERVED CAFETERIA STYLE. THESE CHANGES AFFECTED EVERY PROGRAM THAT THE MISSION OPERATES AND WILL BE EFFECTIVE FOR THE LONG TERM FORESEEABLE FUTURE. THERE ARE ADDITIONAL PHYSICAL CHANGES TO OUR SHELTER CAMPUS IN THE DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE THAT WILL MEET SOCIAL DISTANCING REQUIREMENTS, MONITOR THE BODY TEMPERATURE OF ALL WHO ENTER OUR FACILITIES AND PROVIDE A MORE COMFORTABLE DINING SPACE FOR GUESTS.
