Due to cold weather, with low temperatures in the 20’s to 30’s and the potential for snow, KCRHA is activating Severe Weather Response protocols.
Members of the public who would like to support the distribution of harm reduction supplies like coats, blankets, wool or synthetic socks and gloves, sleeping bags, blankets, hand warmers, and food should donate funds directly to a local service provider. Donating funds ensures flexibility so that outreach and shelter providers can adjust their supplies to meet the need. Check our homeless services database to find a non-profit in your neighborhood.
Activation Extension:
With cold weather continuing, this activation is being extended through the morning of Thursday, March 9, 2023. Please see details below and take note of the location change: the overnight shelter at Exhibition Hall ends the morning of Wednesday, March 1 and moves to City Hall starting that evening through the morning of Thursday, March 9.
