JVS COVID-19 Program Update
Dear friends,
In response to the rapidly changing situation of COVID-19, JVS is making some changes to our programming to attempt to balance service continuity for the communities we serve while protecting the health of staff, clients, volunteers and the community.
As of March 16, direct services at our 4600 The Paseo location will be paused. All classes and volunteer opportunities will not be held at this time. Staff will continue to provide services to clients via telephone, video conference, and in person when necessary and prudent to do so, as the communities we serve may be especially vulnerable to the economic, physical health and mental health repercussions of this event. This change is effective until end of May, at which time, we will reevaluate.
If you have questions about JVS services, please contact our main switchboard at 816.471.2808. You may also reach me directly at hsinger@jvskc.org. We recognize that this is an unprecedented and unique situation, and we appreciate your flexibility and support.
Thanks,
Hilary Cohen Singer
Executive Director
JVS | (816) 471-2808 | 4600 The Paseo, Kansas City, MO 64110 | www.jvskc.org
