hannah green, danielle and a help collect food for the meals on wheels of western michigan food driveHannah Green at Carrier Law, headed up a food drive to support Meals on Wheels of Western Michigan. “This food drive is a great way for us to give back to our community- the food will be used to stock the senior food pantry in Kent County,” said Hannah. “It is always a good time to donate, but right now more than ever it is important that we come together and help our community get through the winter months. The pandemic has put many people in unfortunate circumstances, and this is a small way that we can give back.” The goal was to collect 250 items from the team and that goal was surpassed.

We are so excited to see you and provide you with in-person meetings! We have had to make some small changes to ensure the safety of the families we serve and our team. We are excited to welcome you back and our team is ready for your visit.

Here are some changes that you will see:

  • We ask that you arrive for your appointment five minutes early and wait in your car. Our staff will call you to ask you some health questions and clear you to come in, as soon as, your room is sanitized and ready to go.
  • Please leave any extra personal belongings in your vehicle. This will help keep our environment as clean as possible. Unless you have indicated who will be in attendance when you set up the appointment, no extra guests or children will be admitted for your appointment at this time.
  • You will be greeted by our friendly team and asked to hand sanitize, take a “no touch” temperature and offered a mask if you do not have one.
  • We have always had the very highest standards for cleaning. We clean going above and beyond CDC, OSHA, MIOSHA & Health Department standards each day, and after every meeting. Your health and safety along with that of our team is our top priority. We cannot wait to meet with you. If you have any questions concerning our reopening process, feel free to reach out to us.

    Fondly,

    The Carrier Law Team
