Help The Extreme Weather Shelter

The need for shelter in the wet and cold weather exceeds what the Mendocino Coast Hospitality Center’s Hospitality House can provide. Without shelter, neighbors without homes are at risk of hypothermia and death. The Extreme Weather Shelter (EWS) is supported and operated by the Fort Bragg Community Partnership which includes the City of Fort Bragg, the Coast Faith Communities, Mendocino Coast Hospitality Center, the Food Bank, the Senior Center, Mendocino County, and you. The Extreme Weather Shelter provides a warm place to sleep on nights the temperature is 40° F or below and/or has 20% or greater chance of precipitation. The Faith Communities rotate responsibility for sheltering the EWS guests. A warm meal is provided by our Senior Center’s “Meals on Wheels”. Overnight supervision is provided for all guests. So that others may be sheltered, the suggested donation is the amount you spend housing yourself or your business for one day of the month. For example if your monthly expenses are $1000, give $33 and if $3000 give $100. Your monetary gift will keep the Extreme Weather Shelter open during our coastal stormy and cold weather.  Thank you in advance for your support of this critical EWS program.  Please make checks payable to: Mayor’s Fund for the Homeless Mail to: P.O. Box 2859 Fort Bragg, CA 95437 To make an online donation, please visit http://www.mendocinochc.org/donate
