Welcome to the New Normal for All of Us
Hannah’s House has remained open throughout the pandemic as we provide essential services. I am grateful to announce that we have had no COVID-19 issues among staff or clients! We now have 3 months of experience with maintaining a safe environment for all of our clients, staff and volunteers.
We continue to follow the disinfecting procedures we followed throughout the Great Pause, and we are now adding plastic barriers that will be placed between clients and staff for each of our family rooms.
Cloth masks are available free to any client or family member who needs one. A neighborhood volunteer made 50 masks for our families as a donation. Debra Silva is definitely one of our heroes!
And now? Together we will discover together a new and positive path into our shared futures.
