National Background Checks will be done on all of our CNI volunteers - more on this soon
Grocery Store Shopping Program: Anne Quigley has finalized plans with Publix. Neighbors will be able to use a gift card to pay for groceries. The customer service desk will need 1 hour notice and food will be picked up at that site. Tuesday and Friday are the best days for Publix. A volunteer will be assigned to pick up the groceries for the neighbor.
Termination Statement: When a Board member Interviews a Neighbor who needs service, they will sign a termination statement that lets them know that it may be necessary for CNI to stop service if the neighbor is in need of more service than we are able to provide.
Web page: updates are being made to keep the web page current. www.caring-neighbors.org Thanks to Norm Shotz who has taken on this responsibility.
CNI Brochure are being updated to include the web page, email address and cell phone number 843-368-2096. |
