Volunteers are desperately needed. The shifts are only four hours. There’s also a need for donations to help fund all of this. They will be taking food donations as well.
By space I meant that they need more buildings to open up overnight. Churches are ideal because they typically have a lot of room and they already have fire code approval, so it’s just a faster to process to turn them into emergency shelters. But they certainly don’t have to be churches.
If you fill out this form, there are some options for ways to help that you can choose. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSf4QClsKBdzUXHygUkCxpLg8kMaocBB_Mlcod1EGZ5E6viGAw/viewform?mibextid=Zxz2cZ
(Edited to clarify what I mean by space being needed.)

We’re in the same boat at warming centers in Joplin.

Is there any place where we can donate less than $550 at a time?

I’m sure any amount is appreciated.

I’m not sure what $550 you are referring to, but you can donate directly to The Connecting Grounds Outreach Fund here. https://theconnectinggrounds.churchcenter.com/giving/

Volunteer space? Or is there other ways someone can help?
