Inclement Weather Plan: If weather conditions make it unsafe or impractical to complete the outdoor deck re-staining project, volunteers will transition to an indoor service project by painting resident room doors at the shelter. This alternative project will help refresh the living spaces and create a clean, welcoming environment for residents while allowing volunteers to safely complete meaningful service regardless of weather conditions. All paint, brushes, rollers, and other necessary supplies will be provided. Volunteers should continue to wear clothing appropriate for painting and closed-toe shoes.
