It is important for us to continue to provide services to our community, but also keep the wellbeing of everyone involved at the forefront of our activities. Therefore, due to the reopening of El Sol’s Labor Hall, El Sol will also begin a modified Emergency Food Distribution Program. El Sol will continue to provide food assistance on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. However, food distribution hours are now from noon to 2 PM. In addition, we will begin only providing food vouchers and gift cards to community members in need. This will also allow us at the same time to support local merchants through the use of the food vouchers/gift cards. Making this change, allows us to have staff dedicated to the Labor Hall, Crisis Funding, and to begin registration of new workers and renewing expired worker ID’s while keeping everybody safe and following all guidelines regarding social distancing.
Thanks for all your support and I hope everyone continues to be well! For more information please contact us at 561-745-9860 or contactus@friendsofelsol.org.
