In these unprecedented times, Evangel Home is taking steps to ensure the safety and health of everyone, whether staff, volunteer, or resident. Here are some of the ways that we are working to keep everyone healthy while still providing the care and lifestyle services to those who need it.
Are we taking donations?
We are currently accepting food, hygiene products, new items for gifts, paper goods (plates, cups, napkins etc.) and monetary donations.
BY APPOINTMENT ONLY: We are accepting a very LIMITED amount of clothing and SMALL furniture items.
For CLOTHING: Please email Jessica at volunteers@evangelhome.org.
For FURNITURE: Please email Ruby at crossroads@evangelhome.org. Please send a picture and approximate dimensions of the item(s).
What steps are we taking to make sure residents stay safe?
-Reduced total capacity.
-Everyone eats in their room with paper products so they can toss them out and we reduce the need for doing other people’s dishes.
-Each person has their own room. Families have their own bathroom. Two single ladies will share a bathroom.
-Everyone wears a mask while in common areas, maintaining a 6 foot distance and washing hands often. We take temperatures morning and evening and when anyone enters the building.
-Only essential employees and volunteers allowed in.
What do I do if I need shelter during the pandemic?
STEP 1: CALL US for a phone interview Monday-Friday 9am-5pm – (559) 264-4714
STEP 2: You will need to take a COVID test before coming. The house manager on duty will give you more information. Click here for a list of testing sites.
STEP 3: CALL US back for the full interview. After admitted, come directly to the home.
If we are unable to accommodate you, try calling 211. They are available 24 hours per day and can tell you available community resources that may be able to assist you.
This process will take some time so we ask for your patience as we are trying to ensure not only your safety but the others in the home as well. Thank you!
If I come to the home, what kind of restrictions do you have?
We follow guidance given by the CDC and Fresno County Department of Health. Depending on our tier and restrictions in place by the state, our restrictions vary.
For your safety and the others in the Home, we are very strict with people coming and going. We have computers available for you to search for employment, housing or connect with social services.
Please ask at time of your interview what restrictions are currently in place. Please do NOT come if you have been sick or around someone you know who has COVID.
