You mean actually do something? Can’t I just put some flag by my username?

Nah, I'd rather just yell at them for taking up space in an empty parking lot. (Do I really need to put the /s here?)

Yeah, you're one of the folks I'm talking about. And here you are making jokes. I'd say I'm surprised, but its so predictable.

You have no idea what I do with my time for the community, and I don't have anything to prove to you.

Lol whatever man. I have no idea who you are, and I can guarantee you don't know what I do.
I'm a much healthier person these days, so if you're somebody I left behind, it must have been for a good reason.

I can't advertise the location (both for my safety and because I simply don't have the authority) but I plan to let people use my hotel lobby as a warning station. I'll also probably let anyone who wants it have coffee or tea. Normally they'd get onto me for the coffee, but it's Christmas weekend. I fucking dare'em. =P

We’re open to let a small family or pets stay with us for a few days, if that’s something that would help.

Below is the full text from The Connecting Grounds Facebook page about this critical need in our community next week. If you aren’t comfortable filling out the form here, you can look them up on Facebook to see how to get involved with either TCG or other agencies in town. There are unsheltered people, including little ones, who are living on the streets or in cars and will not survive this weather crisis if we don’t get enough volunteers to open up more shelters. ————————
“Please share this critical call for volunteers from our TCG Outreach Volunteers group:
As we look ahead to the forecast for the next week, there is a life-threatening drop in temperatures headed our way! I know it is Christmas week, and it is hard enough to staff our current shelters to open for current services. However, we will need to find creative ways to open more capacity these days to save lives.
As we have done in the past, massive hoteling is not an option this year as many more rooms are being used as weekly rentals for individuals and families. There is not enough volume of open rooms to meet the needs.
Many people are working on solutions for additional shelter spaces and expanded daytime options to protect the lives of our neighbors. Still, the most critical factor is going to be willing volunteers!
I am putting this sign-up sheet out BEFORE WE HAVE A FULL PLAN because our plan(s) will largely depend on how many people are willing to help.
Please help in any capacity between December 22-December 26; please fill out this form to help shape the crisis response of TCG and many other agencies as we plan ahead. ❤ https://forms.gle/2CSujdchFgTETwPW7
This is a brutal and real reminder that Homelessness does not take a holiday.”
