Letter: Community makes warm room a success


image_pdfimage_print

To the community,

Tahoe Coalition for the Homeless (TCH) would like to thank Alpine Carpet One for their support.  In December, TCH opened the South Lake Tahoe warm room for the winter 2016-17 season.  Alpine Carpet One was a generous supporter not only of our fall fundraiser but by donating carpet for our space.  This donation helps keep our guests experiencing homelessness more comfortable in the warm room. 

The warm room plans to remain open through early April. In addition to warm beds and light food and beverages, TCH provides access to social workers and resource referrals to assist our neighbors without housing with some of the challenges that they face.

Tahoe Coalition for the Homeless is seeking volunteers and donations. We have one final training on Jan. 9 at 7pm at Unity at the Lake at 1195 Rufus Allen Blvd. Email Rachel@tahoehomeless.org for more information.  We can be contacted at tahoewarmroom@gmail.com or 775.573.0822. 

Donations are welcomed to aid in funding. Checks can be made payable to Tahoe Coalition for the Homeless and mailed to PO Box 13514, South Lake Tahoe, CA 96151 or online.  

Sincerely,

Marissa Muscat, executive director
