KCRHA Severe Weather Response Protocol

Share

Due to cold weather, with low temperatures in the 30’s, KCRHA is activating Severe Weather Response protocols in Seattle from Monday, November 28 through Friday, December 2.

Anyone who would like to support with 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 availability for outreach and shelter providers to meet the need. Check out King County Regional Homeless Authority's homeless services database to find a non-profit in your area.
