MESSAGE DURING COVID-19

A Message From The Doodles Team,

In light of events related to COVID-19,  we'd like to check in with you. It's important to us that you know we are in this together.

It is a great opportunity to take some time  to reflect on the good things in our lives. We can be a blessing or encourage someone else. We can create something while at home, or send a gift to a friend or family member.

Us, the Scrap-a-Doodles Team are still continuing with orders and some of us is working from our homes. Others are working on-site in our warehouse under carefully monitored conditions. Our hope is to serve you during this challenging time, to help you keep a sense of routine and normalcy, to empower you to do the creating you love.

We care about the well being of others and have a special place for our loyal customers. We will make it through this together, no matter the challenges ahead. Let's stay positive and look towards making a positive impact during this time.

SOME FAQ DURING COVID-19;

Is Scrap-a-Doodles.com Still Open?

According to Executive Orders laid out by Governor Larry Hogan in the state of Maryland, Scrap-a-Doodles.com is considered an "Essential Business." What this means is that we are shipping orders while strictly following the guidelines of our state government. 

Several weeks ago, well in advance of most businesses' responses, we made large and swift changes to the way we operate in order to protect all of our colleagues, customers, and partners.

Some of the protocols we established in our distribution facility included: 

• Mandatory hand-washing stations
• Protective facial masks
• Temperature checks upon arrival to work
• Required social distancing
• Sanitization en masse, multiple times daily
• Limited facility access
• Staggered shift-based work to minimize people on site at any given time

These are just a few protocols we've implemented so that everyone remains safe and healthy. Please know that because we are prioritizing everyone's safety, some orders may see slightly longer processing or delivery times. 

Will Scrap-a-Doodles.com Remain Open?

We consider it our civic duty to follow the guidance of our Federal, State, and local leadership. We have diligently followed the guidance and orders of the State of Maryland, the US Government, and the CDC over the last month and will continue to do so.

We have been in close touch with government officials to receive guidance about whether or not they want us to stay open. Under Governor Larry Hogan s Executive Orders, we have been deemed an Essential Business and have the support of local elected officials to continue operations.

Our hearts ache for all of the businesses that cannot remain open at this time, due to government closures or other factors, and our thoughts and prayers are with them. 

We will continue to operate our distribution facility under carefully monitored conditions and we will continue to monitor the situation and follow the guidance from our government leaders. It is our sincere hope that all businesses, inside and outside of the craft industry, can reopen at full-capacity soon. 

What is Scrap-a-Doodles.com Doing in Response to COVID-19?

The health, safety, and well-being of our employees, colleagues, customers and community is of the utmost importance to us during this time, and at all times. We have set up remote work options for every job possible and have taken extreme precautionary measures in our facilities to ensure the safety of everyone who needs to be on site. 

This is a way you can help spread kindness while at home. You can even check with your local post office to see if you can arrange a free package pick-up when you've finished making extra handmade face masks so you don't have to leave your home.

We're all in this together. To see how to make your own handmade face masks at home and to even make extra to share,  see our guide here.
