Public Health Statement

We Care Together.

You are the most important part of Mary Rigg and our priority is the safety of our clients, staff, volunteers, and community. We would never want to create a situation that you have concerns regarding your safety or health while visiting the center.

While we stand by our mission to provide help, hope, and opportunity to the community. We have had to make some difficult decisions regarding the center during this rapidly evolving situation that is the COVID-19 pandemic. Because this is a fluid situation, we are and will remain in contact with local, state, and government officials and taking advice on the best way we can continue to serve the community and maintain healthy practices without increasing the spread of the virus. Right now, we feel that keeping our clients, staff, volunteers, and community safe and eliminating as many possibilities of spreading this illness is best. In doing so, we have decided to implement the following changes effective immediately and through April 6, 2020.

• Food Bags distributed every Wednesday from 12:30 pm until supplies last on a walk-up and drive-through basis in the main parking lot. We will share other information and resources via food bags.
• Customer Service is available by phone, on the web, and Facebook. In-person customer service is suspended. Mary Rigg staff will contact you with help information and resources throughout the emergency.
• Youth program, adult education, vocational classes, and resource room are suspended during emergency.See www.maryrigg.org or Facebook page for updated information.

Questions for Mary Rigg staff? With these changes, we know you will have questions and concerns and will do our best to address them. You are welcome to contact our main office (317-639-6106) and leave a voicemail. Our goal is to answer voicemails as quickly as possible but there will be some delays. We ask for your patience.

We also have staff regularly monitoring Facebook and ask again for your patience as we will respond, it may not be immediate.

We will be updating the website and Facebook page as more information becomes available.
