🐶 Why pet-friendly shelter makes sense:
"Street Outreach staff often share a similar story: someone has been on the street for a long time and continually turns down shelter. Suddenly, they reach out because their service animal or pet needs assistance."

We are so grateful to all that are signed up to help this Thanksgiving weekend, but we still have shifts to fill, especially the overnights. Please share and help us provide a safe, warm space for our guests. A few hours of your time makes a difference! https://t.co/WM0KDkszYh

Know that we are deeply thankful for each of one of you for being part of an organization that is dedicated to opening its doors to those in need when it's dangerously cold outside. We couldn't do this without you!
You’ve likely seen the upcoming forecast for freezing temps. We'll be open Wed, Thu, and likely over the weekend. If you're a trained volunteer and will be in town, we need your help! If we all sign up for even one shift, it will make a huge difference. https://t.co/WM0KDkaYzH
