Helping the homeless communities during low temperatures

0

Temperatures are dropping and if you think simply walking in and out is bad, think about staying outside most of your day and into the night to sleep.

For the homeless populations in the Tri-Cities, they have limited resources. The Union Gospel Mission in Pasco is open to everyone and anyone.

They have resources for homeless men, women and children. The men’s shelter is separate from the women’s and children’s.

Andrew Porter from the mission says they have rescue cards on their website available to help people find their way to the shelter.

They take all donations and are a donations based facility.

The shelter is also open to the public which means you can stop by during their public hours and have food in the dinning hall and even use the public showers. All hygiene products are provided.

So the next time you need a place to shower, head over to the local UGM.
