DPSS NEWS MAY 2020

DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE Dear DPSS Team:

I hope you have taken a few minutes to enjoy the first edition of our new monthly newsletter, to celebrate some of our team’s accomplishments over the past several weeks. In that time, we have demonstrated that staff can continue to provide quality and timely services to our customers and communities while working remotely. As we adjust to a new normal, the executive leadership team will be developing a business model and productivity measures to guide our teleworking practices in the future. At the appropriate time we will be reintroducing some staff back into DPSS offices with new safety measures in place. For now, if you are coming into a DPSS location, we ask that you continue to wear face coverings and maintain a distance of at least six feet between your coworkers and customers.

The past two months have brought great uncertainty and hardship to thousands of families and individuals in our communities. We have much work ahead to help those who have been impacted by this crisis get the resources they need to stay healthy and the ability to replace lost opportunities with new ones. Thank you for serving our communities with kindness and empathy. We are all in this together.

Sincerely,

Sayori Baldwin, Director

We asked DPSS employees to #showusyourmask, and you delivered! Here are just a few of the many photos we received. Thank you for continuing to serve our customers during these challenging times!
