RestPit

June 18, 2021

RestPit's Board of Directors has unanimously voted in favor returning to providing Volunteer Harm Reduction Services at Music related events and Venues.

In order to reduce the risk of spreading Covid-19 to volunteers, crews and event participants, RestPit volunteer crews at events will be 80% Vaccinated and/or have immunity against Covid. Volunteers who are unable to get vaccinated will be considered on a case by case basis for events. RestPit does not wish to exclude anyone who is not vaccinated from volunteering but as an organization it is our mission to reduce risks of harm and this includes Covid.

RestPit will follow the procedures and policies of any given venue or event; ie. Masks, vaccination requirements, hand washing, social distancing.

If you have any needs or questions please feel free to reach out.
