When assigning volunteers to help throughout our community, the Control Centre uses a needs-based assessment. The members of our community that need help the most, or the soonest, will always be helped first. The amount of time it takes to help someone will also be based on the current availability of volunteers. That said, here’s the key message:
If you need help, please ask
When assigning help, the following list provides a rough guideline of the priority order we use:
Level 1
- Elderly members of the community
- Immunocompromised members of the community
- Sick or injured people who can't get out for supplies
Level 2
- People with symptoms of some type who may be on the path to becoming sick
- Parents and caregivers who are unable to leave the house to get supplies
- People who feel axious and don't feel comfortable leaving the house
Level 3
- Everyone else
The purpose of the list above is try and show the broad range of people that we may be able to assist, depending on the volunteers available.
We should also note that In This Together offers both in-person and remote assistance. We may be able to connect people across all three levels with various types of assistance.
