FMSC COVID-19 Update and safety measures

Our sites are now open with new safety measures are in place. These changes override any conflicting information found on this FAQ page. Please review these safety measures carefully:

• If you are experiencing any symptoms related to COVID-19 or have been exposed to someone with COVID-19 please stay home.
• All volunteers will be required to wear masks both inside the building at all times and outside the building when waiting to check-in. Acceptable masks include multi-layer cloth, non-medical disposable, or N95 that fit snugly and completely cover your nose and mouth. Please note that neck gaiters and plastic face shields worn alone are not acceptable. A mask with a face shield is acceptable.
• All volunteers will have their temperature checked and go through a verbal symptom screening upon arrival. Temperatures must be under 100.4°F in order to pack.
• Please arrive 10-15 minutes early to check in and shop FMSC MarketPlace™.  If there is a line at the door, please wait until those in line have entered the building to help respect social distancing requirements.
• Volunteer group size is limited to 5 people. Please note that you will not be socially distanced from anyone you choose to sign up with. You will be socially distanced from any other groups in the packing room. If you sign up as an individual, you will likely be paired with another volunteer but will still be six feet from each other (at opposite ends of our packing stations).
• If your group is larger than five, simply register for multiple groups of five. Your groups of five will still need to maintain social distance from your other groups of five, however we will do our best to keep your packing stations as close to each other as possible.
• If you or anyone in your group develops symptoms while packing, you and your entire group will be asked to leave immediately.
• The packing setup has been changed to accommodate groups ranging in size from one to five.
• If you are in a high risk category, please stay home.
• A reservation is required to pack. No walk-ins can be accepted.
• Service hour verification is temporarily suspended.
• Please be aware of local government restrictions for your area, especially pertaining to travel.
