RESPONDING WITH COMPASSION
As the world responds to the pandemic spread of COVID-19, Muncie Mission continues to provide compassionate care for our community’s vulnerable populations. The Mission is closely monitoring fast-changing conditions and recommendations from the CDC, and other federal, state, and local officials. Measures now in place include:
- Resident Services — Monitored hand washing and temperature screening is required for entry into the facility and entry into the dining room at every meal. Two serving times have been scheduled for each meal to minimize crowding. Transmission points such as doorknobs, light switches, counter tops, and bathrooms are disinfected multiple times each day. An isolation room and quarantine dorm have been designated within the facility should a resident or other guest show symptoms of possible infection.
- Community Lunches – Daily lunches continue to be offered free to neighborhood and community residents. Lunches are now distributed as curbside carry-out from the dining room entrance at 12:30 pm Monday through Friday.
- Food Pantry – The distribution of grocery items has been shifted to the Muncie Mission Chapel on Liberty Street. Food pantry hours remain as 8:30 to 10:30 am on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Households may seek pantry assistance two times per month.
- Attic Window Stores – As of Monday, June 22, all Attic Window Thrift stores and donation centers are open and operating under clean and safe conditions.
If you or someone you know is in need of assistance, please call us at (765)288-9122 ext.702.
