Hi!
Many of you know of my work as the Facilities Director for the Committee on Temporary Shelter. Throughout the last year, we at COTS have been busy helping to ensure that the people we serve have remained safe during this pandemic. We have adapted our services, and installed air filtration, plexiglas barriers, and social distancing reminders in all of our facilities. Our shelters and facilities have remained open throughout the last year, serving the most vulnerable in our community. We are now also serving 600 homeless households who are residing temporarily in hotels throughout the county. We could not do this without the generous support of our community.

In a continued effort to slow the spread of the virus, the COTS Walk, one of our largest fundraising and awareness raising events, will need to be a virtual event for the second time. Normally this event draws over 1500 people. Now more than ever, we need your help to continue to serve the homeless, and to prevent households from ever becoming homeless through our outstanding Homeless Prevention efforts. More information about COTS and the COTS Walk is available at cotsonline.org.

Thanks to the Walk sponsors, EVERY DOLLAR raised through the COTS Walk supports shelter and services for families and individuals in crisis.
