COVID-19 Updates

ReStore Response to COVID-19

3/16/2020

0 Comments

 
To Our Valued Customers:
 
Thank you for shopping and donating at Habitat for Humanity Victoria ReStores, and helping local families build strength, stability and independence through affordable homeownership.
 
In light of the ongoing COVID-19 situation, we want to assure you that we are taking steps to protect the health of our staff, volunteers, customers and donors.
 
Providing clean stores and products has always been part of our mission. We are now taking additional measures to ensure washrooms, check-out areas, lunchrooms and any other regularly touched surfaces receive extra cleaning and attention throughout the day.
 
You may notice our staff wearing gloves. These gloves prevent minor injuries when handling and cleaning product and help remind our staff and volunteers not to touch their face.
 
All of our teams have received instruction on the importance of regular hand washing and appropriate techniques for doing so. We have asked all of our teams to practice the recommended social distancing when working in our stores. In addition, all team members have been advised that should they feel unwell they are to stay home.
 
Please know we are taking all reasonable steps to ensure a safe and healthy workplace as we continue to welcome visitors to our stores. We recognise this is a rapidly evolving situation and will take all appropriate action as advised by health authorities.
 
Thank you again for choosing to support your local community ReStores.

As the situation continues to evolve Habitat Victoria made the decision today to invite all of our volunteers to stay home. Our volunteers are essential to the work we do, we value the health and well being of everyone who so generously gives to our organization. We will keep all of our volunteers updated as things progress.

COVID-19 and Volunteering with Habitat

3/13/2020

0 Comments

 
In light of COVID-19, we are advising volunteers of our plans with respect to supporting Habitat Victoria. Please note that these plans may change as we obtain more information from BC Health. Our ReStores will remain open for volunteers and we are exercising diligence by the following:

  • Volunteers must use their own gloves.
  • Social distancing: please keep 2 metres distance from others.
  • Encouraging frequent hand-washing and/or use of an alcohol-based hand rub.
  • If you have COVID-19 symptoms please cancel your shift by emailing volunteer@habitatvictoria.com and stay home.
  • If you or a member of your household has recently traveled internationally, please refrain from volunteering with Habitat for 14 days upon return.
 
Older adults, people with compromised immune systems, and people with chronic diseases are at greater risk. If you fit any of these demographics, please consider your role with us carefully and let us know if you plan to make any changes to your shifts during this time. 
 
We will keep you up-to-date on our website at habitatvictoria.com/covid-19
