Coalition to End Homelessness looking for volunteers for extreme weather shelter this year
Campbell River has everything it needs to open and operate an extreme weather shelter this year, except the people to run it.
The Campbell River and District Coalition to End Homelessness is putting out a call for people interested in helping out at an extreme weather shelter this winter.
“Last year when the call went out, the community was able to rally all of the pieces of an extreme weather shelter — a facility, an operational plan, partnerships, transportation and storage for people’s belongings, however, we were unable to recruit enough staff to even open it partially,” said Sue Moen, part of the Coordinating Circle and Supporting Housing Services Manager for the Salvation Army.
To prevent something similar this year, the coalition is hoping to recruit people from the community to help out in any way they can.
