HR Shelters For Homeless To Open Monday

Hood River Shelter Services has placed 13 two-person shelters at Hood River Valley Christian Church, and will be open for those in need on Monday night.  With restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic forcing the shelter to abandon its congregate model, the easy to assemble shelters were acquired.  Sarah Kellems of Hood River Shelter Services says the number of structures they acquired should be able to accommodate those in need.  She said they averaged 19 guests per night last winter.  The shelters will be open each night in winter from 6 p.m. to 8 a.m., and will accept guest arrivals nightly from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.  There is a need for donations to help operate the shelters, go to hoodrivercares.org for more information.
