Volunteers search for people needing shelter from the cold
“Yakima County homeless shelters are trying their best to keep people safe in the extreme cold by sending volunteers out to find people living without shelter and offer them a safe, warm place to stay.
Volunteer outreach teams at Camp Hope and the Yakima Union Gospel Mission have been hard at work, looking all over for people stuck outside in the freezing temperatures and continued snowfall.
“We were out the other day: there was a guy down by the river that just had on a normal, long-sleeve flannel shirt and jeans,” said Michael Kay, Director of Camp Hope. “He’s trying to keep himself warm with a propane heater and that’s all he has.”
