Hood River Shelter Services Continue Search For Warming Shelter Home

Hood River Shelter Services is continuing its search for a new home to operate its Warming Shelter this winter.  The shelter has to move out of Riverside Community Church due to COVID-19.  Director Sarah Kellems says they have some possible locations, but they are still looking.  She adds wherever they go, operation of the shelter will look different using a non-congregate model to limit COVID-19 risks for their clients, staff, and volunteers.  Kellums says it will take the form of one to two person emergency shelter units, so they need an open air location that would be supported by a building or mobile unit on site.  The mobile unit would allow them to conduct their check-in, meals, and clothing services.  Those who would like to help in this effort or donate can go to hoodrivercares.org.
