Reply to comment by Separate-Finding-697 in UPDATE on Springfield’s crisis cold weather shelter plan - there is still a critical need for space and volunteers by renny065

Volunteers are desperately needed. The shifts are only four hours. There’s also a need for donations to help fund all of this. They will be taking food donations as well.

By space I meant that they need more buildings to open up overnight. Churches are ideal because they typically have a lot of room and they already have fire code approval, so it’s just a faster to process to turn them into emergency shelters. But they certainly don’t have to be churches.

If you fill out this form, there are some options for ways to help that you can choose. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf4QClsKBdzUXHygUkCxpLg8kMaocBB_Mlcod1EGZ5E6viGAw/viewform?mibextid=Zxz2cZ

(Edited to clarify what I mean by space being needed.)

Is there any place where we can donate less than $550 at a time?
