With the life-threatening cold predicted to last for days, possibly weeks, we want to keep you up to date on resources available for people & also our needs.

Our Day Shelter will be open during the day for people to come warm up with breakfast, lunch & showers (1729 NW 3rd) ⬇️
While we don’t typically have the budget to operate 7-days/wk, we'll be open every day for at least the next 2 weeks for people to get out of the dangerous weather. We're temporarily relaxing social distancing restrictions to allow more people in. Masks required. Everyone welcome
With the @cityofokc's support, the Homeless Alliance & @MHAOKLA are operating a temporary winter night shelter just 3 blocks away in the old Willard School (1400 NW 3rd). Everyone is welcome, and we will open up additional space in the building as demand increases.
It will be open every night through March 31. Additionally, our street outreach team will be connecting with people who are unsheltered to take them supplies and make sure they are aware of these resources.
The community has really stepped up to help provide winter gear. As more comes in & go out, our needs evolve. The best way you can help right now is to provide financial support. We need donations to continue operating our Day Shelter & purchase supplies. http://bit.ly/donateHA 
We are also opening volunteer shifts to help sort winter gear. To volunteer, you MUST register in advance. Because of COVID, we have to limit the # of volunteers. Walk-ups can NOT be accommodated. Sign-up for the afternoon “general assistance” shifts at: https://homelessalliance.volunteerhub.com 
You can follow @HomelessOKC.
Tip: mention @twtextapp on a Twitter thread with the keyword “unroll” to get a link to it.
