WRYM's Special Mid-March 2020 Netletter

No one can “shelter in place” if they have no place to shelter in!
We are "sheltering in place" at WRYM having curtailed our off-site activities. Our core in-house programs are still operational; and, we are still accepting applications for admission.
 
WRYM is honoured by Celebrations of Life
We would like to extend our condolences to the family and friends of Wayne French who celebrated his life and honoured his memory by directing memorial donations to WRYM. These donations paid for most of our initial COVID-19 supplies when donations in kind fell short.
 
We also honour the memory of Wayne Sweet and others, whose family and friends similarly assisted “our guys” in the past.

New Do's & Don'ts for Donations Due to Coronavirus/COVID-19​
Please do not donate used clothing or other used household goods; and, definitely not luggage or any other items associated with travel. This disease is spread by travel and on items as well as by people.

Please do consider monetary donations. We must staff our residence to supervise our guys. See button below.

We need canned and dried foods like pastas that have not expired. Please call first about fresh foods as we have limited storage.

The following list of items are golden to prepare for a house potentially full of sick guys:

• Disinfectant solutions (including vinegar) and wipes
• Soap dispensers for hand washing
• Spray bottles for disinfection solutions
• Masks
• Paper towels
• Kleenex
• Plastic waste bags – large and smaller white ones to line waste pails with
• Sponge mops and spare mop heads
• Scrub brushes for hands
• Safety glasses  
• Touchless infrared thermometer
• Tylenol (not ASA) for fever
