The days are getting shorter and colder. Looming threat of cold nights is forcing Yakima Union Gospel Mission to once again get creative in our COVID approach to providing shelter for residents living in street homelessness. When coronavirus hit in Spring, YUGM looked for inexpensive and quick ways to enlarge our shelter space and get people outdoors to provide the distance and fresh air recommendations of the CDC.No one knew these protocols would still be in place going into the winter months, but we are now facing a new challenge- that of winterizing our outdoor military tents to keep people warm and healthy throughout the winter months.We need 6 local churches/organizations to help us provide flooring and insulation for each tent @ $2,145 per tent.
Would you be one?
