As COVID-19 (Coronavirus) continues to affect our
community, Watauga County Habitat for Humanity is evaluating the progress daily
and creating a contingency plan to adapt our operations as necessary. In the
interest of public health, it is our goal to follow all recommendations to the
best of our ability.
- Watauga Habitat will do our best to adhere
to any recommendations provided by the local government and the CDC.
- Our
administrative office is now closed to the public, and our staff is
working remotely. Please email info@wataugahabitat.org to get in touch –
we’ll be here for you in whatever way we can.
- All
in-person volunteer opportunities have been cancelled for the time being.
- Our
ReStore will remain closed, and we are currently not doing donation
pick-ups.
- We
will be making daily evaluations about whether any of our operational
contingency plans need to be changed and/or implemented.
We must also acknowledge that, while the economic
repercussions of this unprecedented event are still unknown, public health
crises like these have an outsized effect on our most vulnerable populations.
We serve families who work in retail, food service, medicine and more. Our
homeowners may be adversely affected, and we will work to support them in
whatever ways we can.
This is an uncertain time for everyone and we are
continually thankful for your support and patience as we face this new
challenge together as a community.
In partnership
Alex Hooker, Executive Director
