Sheltering Silverton

Silverton, once again you showed up! We put out a request for graduation party decorations for our two high school graduates at the shelter. Not only did you deliver decorations, you donated an incredible spread of food, and enough financial support that we were able to give our hard working kiddos $700 each toward their next steps. This community continues to embrace our unhoused community with such warmth and generous support. Thank you for being the village these kids needed.

We want to especially thank their teachers, school support staff, and our SRO Officer Aljets for showing up to the party. You support for these students means the world.

Thanks to Larry McCool and Caesar The No Drama Llama for bringing Caesar's gentle presence into our shelter for the afternoon!

Thanks the Little Leaf Cafe and Oso for donating an incredible spread of food. It was delicious and devoured.

Thank you to our Resource Center Manager Elyse for her hard work coordinating an amazing party and to the rest of our brilliant team for wrapping these kids in love and care. Both students remarked that they have never felt as safe and happy as they did when the moved into our shelter, something that took us all by surprise.

And finally, we want to thank our other shelter guests. These folks rallied around our grads for the past several months. providing mentorship, friendship, grandmotherly guidance and care, and loads of laughs and encouragement.

DONATION REQUEST:

We are seeking donations of some sports equipment for our shelter. As the sun comes out, some of our shelter guests would benefit from more recreational activities. If you are able to donate used sporting equipment, we'd be so grateful. We are especially interested in a badminton/volleyball set, a football, and pickle ball gear.
