Cold weather shelter needs monitors
By Sue Stafford
Correspondent
The Sisters Cold Weather
Shelter (SCWS) will open
its doors on Wednesday,
November 15, at 6 p.m. at The
Hangar annex behind Sisters
Community Church, 1300 W.
McKenzie Hwy. The snowfall
this past weekend underscores
the necessity of being able to
offer a warm, safe place and
nourishing meals for those
in the Sisters community
who lack secure, permanent
housing.
The shelter is currently
in the process of hiring four
paid overnight monitors for
the shelter who will work
in pairs: two to five nights
per week from midnight to
7 a.m. These positions are
part-time seasonal work start-
ing immediately and ending
March 15, 2018. The pay is
$13 per hour. For a complete
job description email sisters
cws@gmail.com or look at the
Sisters Cold Weather Shelter
Facebook page.
A team of SCWS volun-
teers in Sisters will conduct
initial screening interviews.
Those who qualify will
undergo a background check
and an employment interview
with The Shepherd’s House
staff. If hired, new monitors
will receive training and be
required to shadow experi-
enced monitors.
Volunteers for the early
shift from 5 p.m. to mid-
night, and for providing din-
ner and breakfast meals for
shelter guests, can sign up
on SignUp.com at Sisters
Cold Weather Shelter. A link
to the SignUp page can be
found on the SCWS Facebook
page. For those who do not
use Facebook, call the shelter
information phone number
541-719-8415.
All monitors must undergo
a background check, which
costs $11. Forms for the back-
ground checks are available at
the Sisters library and may be
returned there with $11. When
the background check is com-
plete, new monitors will be
notified and can then sign up
for shifts. Returning monitors
who did the background check
last winter are not required to
do another one.
People requiring camping
equipment must first secure
a voucher stating what they
need from the Family Access
Network office located in
the Sisters School District
administration office at 525 E.
Cascade Ave.
Last winter the commu-
nity’s generous support of
the SCWS was heartwarm-
ing, with restaurants and indi-
vidual volunteers and orga-
nizations providing meals,
businesses offering clothing,
food, propane, and carpets
for the floor. Local dentists
provided hygiene products.
The Deschutes County jail
supplied sleeping mats. (See
“Cold weather shelter needs
donations,” page 5.)
One of the most meaning-
ful programs was the foster
program for shelter guests’
dogs, to be offered again
this year. Furry Friends has
donated a collapsible crate
to the shelter. A refrigerator
has been donated for use at
The Hangar, and last year an
enclosed trailer was donated in
which supplies can be moved
from one shelter location to
another and stored over the
months the shelter is closed.
