2. Treat each client with dignity and kindness and respect their rights and individuality.
3. Respect clients’ personal space – e.g., I will not initiate hugs nor enter a client’s home without being invited in.
4. Respect the cultural, religious and political views of clients and refrain from imposing my cultural, religious and political views on clients.
5. Decline gifts, tips or monetary acknowledgments from any participant for delivery of meals except for donations to MOW.
