Hello FIRM Family,
I can’t quite believe how fast the past four months have flown. FIRM continues to learn and grow into doing our mission in new ways, and we are so grateful for your partnership in the process.
A few operational updates:
FIRM staff continue to work mostly from home. We do as many services as possible over the phone, and have added limited in-person support for when signatures are required or copies are being made. All staff have been trained repeatedly on COVID-19 symptoms and cleaning processes.
Everyone is required to wear a mask when in FIRM’s main building. We have stocked up on cleaning supplies and have increased our janitorial services.
We have continued to provide monthly food drop-offs to elders and vulnerable families throughout Fresno, and will continue to do so, thanks to the generous support of the Sierra Health Foundation, Wells Fargo Bank and PC(USA) Disaster Relief.
Our upstairs tenants and the CSN FIRM preschool continue to have access to their space, but in light of the ever increasing numbers we have limited access to our other rental spaces to COVID-19 response events only. We continue to prayerfully monitor the local and statewide numbers and guidelines as we consider how to best serve our neighbors.
Every day brings new challenges, but we are so grateful to be able to work together with all of you to address them.
In Love and Hope,
Christine
