Hood River Shelter Services and Mid-Columbia Community Action Council have entered into an alliance to allow for continued operations of the 24-bed pallet shelter in Hood River this winter.  Under the alliance, Community Action will take over as the lead on operations of the shelter while Shelter Services will continue to play a front and center role in volunteer coordination and providing access to high quality food for the shelter clients.  For the past few winters, Community Action has provided Shelter Services with a large share of the funding needed for warming shelter operations in Hood River.  The Hood River pallet shelter site is at 1733 Oak Street, and includes a sanitation trailer with restrooms, showers, and laundry facilities, and other on-site social services through Mid-Columbia Center For Living, One Community Health, and the Bridges to Health Pathways program.
