DBI COVID-19 Safety Statement
DBI is committed to stopping the spread of COVID-19 in our community and we care about the safety of our volunteers, businesses owners and employees, and visitors. Our open air dining is socially distanced and volunteers will be standing by to wipe and disinfect tables after each use. In addition, we will have paper towels and disinfectant spray for visitors to use. We ask that you wear your mask while indoors patronizing businesses and outside when you are unable to maintain appropriate social distance.
