Family Winter Shelter 2014-2015

Human Solutions has opened their Family Winter Shelter again this year!  It opened up November 1 and will continue to run through April.

It is in a new location:  at the old Social Security building at 162nd and Burnside.  The address is: 16141 E. Burnside St. Portland, OR.  It is easily accessible by the MAX and Bus #20.  This location will allow more people to stay there. 

It is available for any adults with children under 18.  It is open from 7pm to 7am.  Please arrive on time. 

They are right now looking for people to provide meals each night that the shelter is open.  If you are interested or have any questions about the shelter, please email  alyons@humansolutions.org 

Anawim Clothes Closet

Are you, or anyone you know, in need of clothes?  The Anawim Clothes Closet is up and running.  This is a clothes closet for families, not just homeless folks.  The hours of operation are during the regular day shelter times, which makes it a two-fer: you can grab some clothes and some coffee and conversation.

TIMES:

4pm-7pmpm Wednesdays

11am-1pm Saturdays
