IMPORTANT NEW CAMPUS SECURITY PROCEDURE
Please arrive 15-20 minutes early to allow time for security check in. As a partner of Haven for Hope we uphold an important security rule that applies to our SA Food Bank volunteers. Security is a priority and Haven for Hope does not permit convicted sex offenders to volunteer or visit the campus. Accordingly, Haven for Hope will check all visitors and guest IDs against sex offender registries. Please bring a government or state issued photo-ID when you come to Haven for Hope. Volunteers will need an ID upon entry for verification purposes. We appreciate your understanding for this policy.
We do not provide lockers to keep purses, jewelry or other valuables. Please bring only what you will need to keep with you on your person. We are not responsible for anything that is lost or stolen.
