Warm room to open for South Tahoe’s homeless

Starting Dec. 18 homeless people in South Lake Tahoe will have a place to sleep other than the outdoors.

The shelter will be open from 7pm to 7am, December to April. It is located at 981 Silver Dollar
Ave., South Lake Tahoe.

There will be 20 beds. Those staying will receive prepackaged foods and hot beverages. The warm room will also provide the adult men and women with information and resource referrals to help them find more permanent housing solutions.

Anyone interested in volunteering may attend the following training sessions:
● Jan. 9 10am -12:30pm
● Jan. 12 1-3:30pm
● Jan. 12 6-8:30pm.

Donations are also needed. Checks should be made out to Live Violence Free (the fiscal sponsor for Tahoe Coalition for the Homeless), with “Warm Room” in the memo, and mailed to Tahoe Coalition for the Homeless, P.O. Box 13514, South Lake Tahoe, CA 96151.
