I understand that I will be working at the Shepherd’s Heart Robinson Food Pantry as a volunteer. My service will be directed by the Food Pantry Directors and/or volunteer coordinator.

I acknowledge that all information relating to clients will be kept CONFIDENTIAL. Any concerns that I may have I will report in a timely manner to one of the directors.

I will be compassionate, kind and patient towards others, and I will exhibit a positive, non-judgmental attitude. I will demonstrate respect by treating others as I would expect to be treated. I will be honest and trustworthy in my work, and I will communicate with sincerity, honesty and cultural understanding.

I understand that by signing this volunteer registration form, I am absolving Shepherd’s Heart Robinson Food Pantry and its facility from any and all liability or any possible injury or other harmful consequences while working as a volunteer.

I wish to volunteer my time and services for the Shepherd’s Heart Robinson Food Pantry and hereby acknowledge that they are doign everything they can to protect the public, as well as myself as a volunteer.

If I am feeling ill or have possibly been exposed to a communicable disease/Covid-19 (regardless of how I feel), I will cancel my volunteer schedule.

If I should become ill with symptoms/test positive for Covid-19 within fouteen days after working at the Shepherd’s Heart Robinson Food Pantry, I will contact Celeste Hickey, John Johanson, or Sonya Wilson ASAP (their numbers will be posted on the door of the pantry), so that contact tracing can be started as quickly as possible, letting other volunteers be made aware of possible exposure. HIPAA regulations will be in place, therefore no identity will be included.
