Southeast Texas Food Bank temporarily closing because of COVID-19
The Southeast Texas Food Banks board and management decided through consultation with the Beaumont Health Department, Feeding America and Feeding Texas to temporarily pause operations.
Continued COVID-19 screening testing for employees at the Southeast Texas Food Bank this week resulted in two more positive test results from the initial rapid testing conducted, bringing the number of identified staff active cases to seven.
Among the newly identified cases is Food Bank President/CEO Dan Maher, who received positive test results on Friday.
Neither of the newly identified cases are among staff who have worked extensively with volunteers in recent days, but Food Bank management and its Board of Directors highlight the additional cases in an abundance of caution for public safety and awareness.
