COVID-19 Response

Volunteer Central creates information hub for COVID-19 response

Mar 20, 2020 | 7:30 AM

In response to the ongoing COVID-19 situation, Volunteer Central is creating an information hub on our website.

The intention of the hub is to communicate your organizational needs to the community and to share information. We’re reaching out to you to ask you to let us know:

• Your Increased Needs – do you need?

Emergency facilities (for over-crowding or other reasons) or meeting rooms?

1. Food
2. Personal hygiene items
3. Services e.g. drivers, delivery people
4. Blood
5. Supports for newcomers e.g. translation services
6. Supports for mental health
7. Needs for supports for additional precautions e.g. protecting volunteers from infection
8. Volunteer management – do you need more volunteers? Do you need supports for volunteers e.g. transportation?

Communication needs – extra equipment, tablets, laptops, printers? Can we help get the word out about:

• Canceled programs or events
• Canceled training
• Facility closures

We know you are busy dealing with many challenges right now, but ask that you take a moment to let us know what you need.

As community members reach out to us asking how they can help, we want to provide them with the most useful information.

Like many of you, our staff are working remotely. Please email your information to info@volunteercentral.ca with a list of your needs and how community members, donors, or volunteers can reach you.

Together we’re stronger.
