Enormous thanks to the year round shelters, Winter Hospitality Overflow (WHO), severe weather and day shelters in Clark County who are dedicated to providing much needed shelter to some of our most vulnerable neighbors. The shelter staff and incredible volunteers are working overtime keeping themselves and shelter guests safe from exposure to the COVID-19 virus by taking all public health identified precautions.
Additional thanks goes to our formidable local outreach teams who focus on people who are unsheltered in the community. This is a very difficult time for anyone without a safe space to isolate or quarantine. Outreach staff are sharing facts, resources, and a listening ear while striving to take necessary precautions.
How you can help:
If you have additional disinfectant wipes, bandanas, tents, small soaps, water bottles, or hand sanitizer, please consider sharing them with local service agencies. Items may also be dropped off at the Council for the Homeless Housing Solutions Center. Please call (360) 699-5106 before stopping by with your donation.
Items may also be dropped off at local shelters, including the Share Fromhold Center, Open House Ministries, YWCA Clark County, and the Navigation Center. Please call the agency before you stop by to deliver items.
