Hi friends!

Thank you so much for signing up to help with the Weather Amnesty shelter program at Purple House this winter. I'm writing to let you know that, unfortunately, we are still far short of our volunteering sign up goal and have not opened the house yet. Once we get going, we will be a place that people rely on for a safe and warm place to be and sleep at night. It is important that we have enough people on board to volunteer before we open so we don't have to close on certain nights.

We'd like to solve this issue by adding to our list of volunteers, rather than asking the folks who have already signed up to do more. The following shifts still need volunteers:

Sunday 6:30pm-12am

Sunday 12am-8am

Wednesday 12am-8am

Thursday 6:30pm-12am

Friday 6:30pm-12am

Friday 12am-8am

Saturday 6:30pm-12am

We would deeply appreciate it if you could forward this email to your networks. Those interested in volunteering (on any given night, not just the ones listed above!), please check out this interest form, which has more information on the program. Thank you all so much for your help!
