The Los Alamos Jewish Center and the Unitarian Church of Los Alamos invite the community to join their collaborative effort to support the Espanola Pathways Shelter.

The shelter is open 7 nights a week and averaged 15 guests a night in December 2023, with many nights reaching their capacity of 20 guests. The shelter serves 3 meals a day and served 1,739 meals in December. The shelter offers case management to assist clients in meeting their immediate and future needs. The shelter is increasing its collaboration with a range of other local agencies to better meet the needs of its clients.

At this time, the shelter is in need of:

Blankets
NEW Underwear
Socks in good condition
Laundry Soap
Hygiene products, such as shampoo, shavers, and deodorant
Jackets/hoodies/sweatshirts

You may leave your donations in the boxes outside the Unitarian Church, located at:

1738 North Sage Loop, Los Alamos

People who prefer may also contribute online to the shelter via: donorbox.org/espanola pathways-shelter

This effort will last through March 31.
