Amid concerns of the spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19), Brunswick Family Assistance (BFA) will move all operations to a remote format. This move will not impact client services.
BFA staff will be able to handle all operations from remote locations, better protecting them and their clients during this crucial time. “We want to serve the community while also keeping them safe,” said Executive Director Stephanie Bowen. “We believe this move will best allow us to serve those in need while doing our part to prevent the spread of COVID-19.”
All operations will remain the same, with the exception of food pantry visits. Visits to the food pantry will be by appointment only, and clients are urged to call ahead of time to ensure timely response and visits to the pantry. During such a crucial time of need, no client services will be disrupted and BFA will continue to provide services to the community they serve.
We will continue to take every measure to ensure the health and safety of our community.
