Emergency Shelter/Delores Project news

Ladies: There is an article planned to run in the Post tomorrow about the emergency shelter needs for single women during this severe cold weather. The fact is that even with our 15 overflow beds funded by the city, women are still sleeping in cars or outside as of last night.

If colleagues or friends comment on the article with you, please let them know our emergency shelter needs are:

Casserole-type meals for 20 people, nightly – HUGE need

New or used adult winter coats and boots

Large-sized sweatsuits or sweaters

Twin blankets in very good condition

Travel-sized toothpaste (we are OUT as of today)

For those who want to ‘do’ something on site, we would love to have the help of volunteers on Saturdays or Sundays in the early mornings (5am – 8 or 9) and evening (4pm – 8 or 9) Volunteers must apply and be screened and oriented.

Thanks all!
