A Message From Eloise’s Cooking Pot Food Bank Tacoma WA
We’re thankful to have so many people reaching out to us to ask how they can help us provide food for those in need in the midst of the current COVID-19 outbreak. Here is how you can help.
- Sign up to volunteer at the food bank. We need volunteers each day at the food bank. We are taking measures to ensure the safety of all of our volunteers, staff, and clients in the midst of this outbreak including rigorous sanitation, small work-groups, and the implementation of a “curbside” service model that limits contact for the safety of all. Please sign up at themadf.org/volunteer.
We are also looking for volunteers with the following expertise:
- C.D.L Drivers who can drive a truck with a manual transmission
- Logistic Specialist: someone who can help us organize our system
- Cleaning Service: someone who can help us keep the food bank clean each day so that everyone stays healthy.
- Data Specialist: who can help us input data from our clients.
- Procurement: someone who can help us find and acquire the items we need for our clients.
2. Sign up to volunteer as a driver. You can go to our web page and sign up to deliver food to families in need. We are delivering to the most vulnerable people right now, while working out the logistics in real-time. If you sign up on our website, someone will give you a call next week.
Note: if you choose to shop and pick up for people making requests on our social media, you are engaging in a private delivery between you and the recipient. Please exercise wisdom and stay safe. Do not enter anyone’s home and use the buddy system please. Drop the food off at the door. We highly recommend that you choose to deliver for families in your neighborhood that you know. We want to keep everyone safe.
3. Donate supplies to the food bank. We are currently in need of the following supplies to keep the food bank up and running through this crisis:
- Unused boxes, grocery bags, and lunch bags.
- Baby formula, baby food, and diapers (sizes 1,2 & 3)
- Silverware packets, small hygiene products, toilet paper, and paper towels for our homeless clients
- Backpacks for our homeless clients to put food in.
- Orange safety cones and safety vests.
- Cases of water
- Anti-bacterial rubber gloves
4. Make a cash donation. We have a big increase in the need for gas, diary foods, fresh fruits/veggies and daily operation expenses. You can donate through this page or on our website at themadf.org/donate.
Thanks again everyone for helping us make a difference in the lives of others.
Please help us get the word out and share this message.

MultiCare in Washington State Visitor Restrictions
Below is a letter from MultiCare for Washingtion State ???? COVID19
To help keep our patients, visitors and staff safe and to help stop the spread of COVID-19, MultiCare has established visitor restrictions at all our hospitals and clinics in Washington state.
SCREENING
We will be screening all patients and visitors at our hospitals and clinics.
Hospitals (including clinics located inside our hospital buildings)
Our hospitals may close some entrances. The hours these entrances are open may also be different than normal.
Visit the hospital location pages at www.multicare.org for information about your hospital.
All hospital visitors will be screened at the entrances. A staff member will take temperatures and ask these screening questions:
- Do you have a fever, cough, shortness of breath or symptoms of a common cold or flu?
- Have you had contact with someone suspected or confirmed to have novel coronavirus (COVID-19)?
If the answer is “yes” to either question, you will not be allowed to enter the facility. We will encourage you to contact your primary care provider or use our free Virtual Care e-visit service (www.multicare.org/virtualcare). If you have an appointment at a clinic located inside the hospital and cannot enter, we will ask you to contact your clinic for instructions.
Outpatient Clinics (Not in hospital buildings)
Our clinics and appointment schedulers will ask you the same screening questions about symptoms and COVID-19 exposure that our hospitals do when you call. (see questions above).
If you can answer “yes” to either question, please contact your clinic to get instructions before you come to your appointment.
If you do come to the clinic, we will screen all patients and visitors there, and we may take temperatures as well.
Patients who can answer “yes” to either screening question at the clinic will be given a mask to wear. If you refuse to wear the mask, the clinic will ask you to leave.
Any visitor who has a temperature and can answer “yes” to either screening question will not be allowed in the clinic.
VISITOR RESTRICTIONS
Hospital visiting hours will be restricted to 8am – 8pm.
In the hospitals, only one caregiver or support person is allowed for each patient, each day (two visitors for patients 17 and under). In our outpatient clinics, only one caregiver or support person will be allowed with each adult patient.
A limit of two parents or caregivers will be allowed with each pediatric patient in our outpatient clinics.
No children 17 and under will be allowed in any hospital or clinic unless they are patients.
No siblings of any age will be allowed to accompany pediatric patients to our outpatient clinics, unless they are patients themselves.
Hospital visitors will be issued a wristband for the day to help our staff identify them.
No visitors will be allowed for hospital patients with suspected or confirmed cases of COVID-19 (patients 17 and under are allowed one parent or caregiver at a time, or two in a 24-hour period).
Only one caregiver or support person will be allowed to accompany patients arriving for surgery or procedures.
Only one visitor is allowed to accompany emergency patients or patients with outpatient appointments at the hospital.
Patients in our hospital birth centers, neonatal intensive care units, and pediatric units may have two visitors per day instead of one.
No visitors will be allowed to enter through the Emergency Department unless they are accompanying an emergency patient.
If you are not at the hospital to receive care or visit a patient, you will not be allowed to enter.
VALET PARKING SERVICE
Currently, we are not offering our normal hospital valet parking service. However, staff members will be available at hospital entrances to direct you to parking locations.
Thank you. We appreciate your patience and cooperation. For more information, visit www.multicare.org/coronavirus.
