As many of you are aware, the State of Ohio is requiring all non-essential business to close until April 6, 2020 to help deter the spread of COVID-19. Smith-Feike-Minton, Inc./SFM Insurance is considered an essential business and will continue to be open serving our communities.
On Thursday, 70% of our employees began to work remotely from the safety of their own homes. If you visit, you will continue to experience social distancing and hand sanitizer is readily available. We continue to request that you visit us only if absolutely necessary and use our drop boxes to make a premium payment. For those more vulnerable to COVID-19, please visit us between 8:00 am and 9:00 am or call to make an appointment. Your protection is the utmost importance to us.
