Pasadena’s Union Station Homeless Services Urgently Needs Help

> A Message from ColoradoBoulevard.net:

Dear Readers,

Effective immediately, we will be tapering down our coverage of closures and concentrate more on uplifting local stories and ways to enrich our well-being, while navigating these difficult times with dignity and civility. We will also up our coverage of the latest science and technology breakthroughs in the fight to conquer COVID-19, while adding nutrition and practical information.

There is an urgent need for monetary and/or in-kind donations to support the following items:

• Donations to support our increased staffing needs in our kitchen and bridge housing in lieu of volunteer support
• Donations to support additional food items, including increased breakfast and lunch service for kids who are now home from school, as well as our residents and unaltered neighbors
• Grocery, food and pharmacy gift cards for our many food-insecure clients, who may not have access to their local food banks during this time. Helpful gift cards include Ralphs, Kroger, Vons, Albertsons, Safeway, Smart & Final, Walgreens, CVS, and 7-11.
• Donations to support the purchase of large portable hand-washing stations.
• Disposable utensils, plates, and cups.
