Hood River Shelter Services is getting ready to open its warming shelter at Riverside Community Church in mid-November. Executive Director Sarah Kellems says they trained 35 volunteers during recent fall training sessions, and had 130 active volunteers last year. This year they are adding a staff person to oversee shelter operations each night to help lessen the load on volunteers. More volunteer trainings are planned in the winter, and donations of warm clothing and more are always needed. For more information, go to hoodrivercares.org.
