Metro COVID Updates
Masks are required at all times, for staff, volunteers, clients, and everybody else at your location. All OFB partner agencies and programs must comply with these requirements.
It’s very important to us here at OFB that the people we serve can access food without putting themselves and their communities at risk of contracting COVID 19. We are also concerned for your own wellbeing, and that of all of the staff and volunteers at your agency or program.
With that in mind, we wanted to share the latest updates on mask requirements in Oregon, and to explain how they relate to your partnership with Oregon Food Bank.

Posters & Signs in multiple languages communicating the new mask requirement.
OFB has created posters in multiple languages to help agencies and programs comply with the requirement that face coverings or masks be worn in all indoor public spaces and any outdoor public space where distancing cannot be maintained at all times.
In addition, Oregon Health Authority has created its own signage communicating the mask requirement and clarifying the "reasonable modification" process. We recommend posting both the OFB poster and the OHA sign in all relevant languages.
