Due to extremely cold temperatures in the forecast for next week, Mid-Columbia Community Action Council (MCCAC) had made the decision to activate Emergency Shelter at The Gloria Center at 2505 W 7th St in The Dalles.
The Emergency Shelter will open next Monday, Feb.10 at 4PM and will be open 24 hours a day while it is activated. Emergency Shelter operations will be led by MCCAC staff and supported by the community volunteers. Support provided will include warm shelter, bedding and clothing items, food, water, hygiene and first aid items, and connections to community resources.
