Revised Mask Policy

All, due to the new guidance from the CDC and local health authorities, we have revised our mask policy effective today. The new policy is below. I want to stress that three considerations regarding the policy:

  1. You should unmask only if you are comfortable doing so in the setting you are in. Continuing to wear a mask is completely acceptable.
  2. Please be considerate of the preferences of others in and around you, especially in small group settings
  3. This policy is subject to change based on further guidance from either the CDC or local health authorities.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Paul R. Anderson, CPA, CAP
Executive Director of Operations and Director of First Community Foundation

Mask Policy

Through the Community Rewards program, Kroger makes a contribution to Heart to Heart every time you shop. In the quarter beginning November 1, 2021 and ending January 31, 2022 we earned $1088.70 from the 266 participating households.
