Help Provide Meals to Children at Jefferson-Houston

Alexandria City Public School (ACPS) will provide two days worth of breakfast and lunch meals with a snack pack free for any enrolled ACPS student on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Friday distribution will include a meal(s) for Saturday. Volunteers are needed at Jefferson Houston at 8:30AM to assist with helping distribute meals curbside to walk-ups and vehicles. All volunteers must wear a mask over nose and mouth. All mask safety guidelines are expected to be followed while volunteering onsite. ACPS site staff have the right to redirect and/or release any volunteer(s) who are not compliant. Please refer to guidelines and procedures of mask wearing HERE. We recommend to bring a pair of gloves as you will be handling/lifting boxes. Although we recommend, volunteers do not have to be vaccinated to participate in this volunteer opportunity. Before you volunteer in person, please ensure: - That you have you NOT been at any places and therefore exposed where people have tested posted for COVID-19? If so, do not volunteer. - That you DO NOT exhibit any symptoms of a respiratory illness including fever, runny nose, sore throat, coughing or difficulty breathing now or in the past 24 hours? If so, do not volunteer. -That you have NOT traveled in the last 14 days outside of the area. If so, do NOT volunteer. - That you or someone you live with is NOT at high risk (this includes persons who are age greater than 65; have underlying heart disease or lung disease, diabetes, liver disease; are immunocompromised, on dialysis, or have severe obesity with BMI greater than 40). If so, do NOT volunteer. ACPS Screening Procedures: Please bring a valid form of identification. Once confirmed as a volunteer for the day, the volunteer will have their temperature taken and proceed to their station. Volunteers with a temperature ≥100.0 degrees will be asked to return home, contact your physician, and follow the quarantine requirements. Registration to sign up for ACPS volunteer dates/times will close Wednesdays at 8:00AM prior - including Monday, Wednesday, and Friday shifts of the following week. Please plan accordingly. If you do sign up for a volunteer shift and know you can no longer attend, please give us at least a two-day notice.
