Homelessness During Winter
When it starts to get cold outside, some hot chocolate and a fireplace makes the perfect afternoon. Unfortunately, not all of us are so lucky as to have even a hot chocolate. When it hits winter in the PNW, many homeless people are still on the streets, barely able to keep warm in their tents or even just on the sidewalk.
Luckily, there are some places they can go to to keep warm, but it's not always an option if they fill up or have certain restrictions. Warming Shelter This is one resource for warming shelters, where they also have higher capacity on nights with severe weather.
There's a lot we can do to help out those in need, such as donating warm clothes we don't use so that they at least have something warmer to wear. The above website has some places you can donate warmer clothing to those in need.
This time of year is filled with joy and holidays, but many suffer in a way we could only imagine. If we can help them any way possible, it could really help everybody have a warm and safe holiday season.
