COMMUNITY A6 • HERMISTONHERALD.COM Warming Station needs more volunteers By JADE MCDOWELL NEWS EDITOR The Hermiston Warming Station is in desperate need of more volunteers, accord- ing to board members. Sandy Francis, the warm- ing station’s new board chair, said so far only 31 people have signed up to be volun- teers. That’s not enough to staff the station all through the night, although they have committed to at least opening from 7-10 p.m. each night so people can come in and get warmed up and have a cup of soup. “We may have to turn them out at 10, unfortu- nately,” Francis said. The warming station posted a plea for more volun- teers on its Facebook page on Sunday, Nov. 22, along with a schedule of more training dates at 6 p.m. every other day. Volunteers must attend a training, pass a background check and be at least 18 years old. They don’t have to RSVP, just show up at 1075 S. Highway 395 in Hermis- ton at 6 p.m. on one of the dates listed. “We understand that we are living in scary and try- ing times, but we cannot for- get about the homeless in our community. They NEED us,” the post stated. “Our mission is to compassionately provide The U.S. Department of Agriculture, along with the U.S. Forest Service announced it will expand its Every Kid Outdoors program to offer IRXUWK DQG ¿IWKJUDGH VWX- dents and family members fee- free access to more than 2,000 sites on national forests and grasslands for the remainder of Jade McDowell/Hermiston Herald The Hermiston Warming Station will be located at The Arc of Umatilla County building in McKenzie Park for 2020. a safe place to meet the basic human needs of those with- out shelter during the winter. Without volunteers, we just cannot make that happen. Please think about volunteer- ing with us this season if you can. Many people depend on us to be successful.” The Hermiston Warm- ing Station is usually located in a house on 1075 S. High- way 395, but this year is the 2020-2021 school year.
