The Pandemic, the Alliance, and Community
2021 has been quite a ride so far. We were finally able to settle into a rhythm after the constant curve balls of 2020. Collaboration with other organizations has become one key to success through unprecedented times. Through this collaboration we have onsite health checks happening with our residents, vaccine clinics coming right to us, and deep communication with other housing providers and non-profits in town. This has also allowed for dreams to begin forming into reality.
Governor Jay Inslee Visits the Shelter Community
Washington State Governor Jay Inslee spent some time at the Sleep Center yesterday learning about the work we do. He was great with various leaders, really affirming of the staff and what we are doing, and even had a nice conversation with a guest who shared that he hoped to get housed soon. Thank you for the visit, Governor!
WWU students Complete Assembly on New Hut
A group of Walla Walla University students, part of WWU's Engineers without Borders group, completed the assembly of a jumbo Conestoga hut. Their effort was made possible by the expertise and organization of Craig Volwiler, who previously oversaw the building and installation of an ADA jumbo hut, arranged for five contractor-built huts, and led the initial project to build 31 huts in 2017.
