Due to cold weather, with low temperatures in the 30’s, KCRHA is activating Severe Weather Response protocols. Climate change is making severe weather events more frequent, and this is the fourth cold weather activation since November. This post was last updated 12/23/22 at 3:40pm.
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, handwarmers, 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.
