If deliveries cannot be made on the scheduled day, an alternative delivery plan will be communicated. Communication: Drivers will receive notifications regarding any changes to the delivery schedule due to inclement weather. Keep your contact information up-to-date with the program coordinator to ensure you receive timely updates. General Guidelines: Health and Safety: Prioritize your safety and well-being. Do not take unnecessary risks in adverse weather conditions. Updates: Regularly check your email or phone for updates from the program coordinator.
