February 1 is moving day
for the Sisters Cold Weather
Shelter.
After being housed at
Westside Church of Sisters
for the month of January,
the shelter will be hosted by
Sisters Community Church
for the month of February,
in their annex hangar. An
enclosed trailer has been
given to the shelter by an
anonymous donor, enabling
the monthly moves in the
winter, as well as providing
storage for shelter materials
during the rest of the year.
Donations continue to fill
needs of the shelter and its
guests. The hangar at Sisters
Community Church has con-
crete floors and no carpet, so
I&J Carpets of Bend is donat-
ing carpet mats that will be
put down on the floor under
the sleeping mats.
The women of Westside
Church Bend are making 20
handmade twin-size quilts
which the shelter guests may
keep. The quilts should be
available by mid-February.
Tate Metcalf of Sisters
Athletic Club has made the
club showers available for
shelter guests who would like
to take a hot shower. Passes
for certain days and times
will be available at the shel-
ter. Liam Hughes, executive
director of Sisters Park &
Recreation District, is work-
ing on making their showers
available as well.

proceeds from last week’s
receipts. More than $5,000
has come from a variety of
sources.
One of the men from The
Shepherd’s House, James,
who often works the over-
night shift at the shelter,
reported that a large shelter,
where he used to work in
New York, was amazed at
how quickly the Sisters shel-
ter has been able to be fully
operational and offering all
that it does to the guests.
Lois Kaping, shelter co-
chair, reported the four main
requirements that needed
to be met in order to oper-
ate the shelter have all been
met: location, volunteers,
money, and momentum in the
community.
One need that seems to be
a constant is for good qual-
ity wool socks, which can be
dropped off in the evening
between 6 and 10 p.m. at
the shelter, or at the Habitat
ReStore during the day.
Sisters Community
Church is located at 1300 W.
McKenzie Hwy. The hangar
is located back behind the
baseball field, accessible from
McKinney Butte Road.
