The Shelter opened on Sunday the 21st, receiving approximately 50 people so far. Scott Sullivan is the Chair and Megan Van-pelt is the national resource director. The shelter is available to receive phone calls 24/7 at 707-487-3181 and this number is the primary contact number for Tessa LaFazio. They are accepting donations and volunteers.
