COVID Safety Protocol:

This year we are implementing safety protocols to ensure the health and safety of bell ringers, customers and associates.

General Guidelines:

1. Before reporting for a shift, you need to review the national bell ringing video (see below) that shows best bell ringing practices during COVID.
2. Follow current CDC and local guidelines related to exposure.  If you are exhibiting symptoms or have been exposed to someone with COVID-19 in the past 14 days, please reschedule your shift.
3. You are required to wear a mask for the entirety of your shift.  If you do not wear a mask, the manager for location may ask you to leave.
4. As an individual approaches the kettle, please step back to maintain social distancing.
5. Bell ringers will not have any physical contact with donations or individuals.  Please allow donors to put the money into the kettle – do not assist them.
6. Kettles will be equipped with Google Pay/Apple Pay to allow for a contactless donation option.
