Severe weather shelter seeks volunteers
Posted October 26, 2022 at 8:52 am by San Juan Update
United Way of San Juan County shares news about their severe weather shelter program.
It’s that time of the year, where the suggestion of very cold weather is loud and clear. We are hoping to put together a team of volunteers to open the Severe Weather Shelter this year.
An orientation will be held on Tuesday, Nov. 1 at 5 p.m. at Islands Community Church — 127 Gilbert Lane, on the south side of San Juan Valley Road, just east of Douglas Road. Coffee and treats will be served.
See what we are about and decide if it’s for you. Trained and committed volunteers get paid $10 to sign up shelter attendees and $75 to stay overnight. The shelter is half policy-and-procedure and half we’re-just-keeping-folks-warm. Sign up with a friend, if you wish. You can chat and play cards.
Volunteers also require a background check, but not all records will exclude one from volunteering.
You can support the San Juan Update by doing business with our loyal advertisers, and by making a one-time contribution or a recurring donation.
