HomePlate Youth Services, which assists homeless youth, has made the difficult decision to suspend the drop-in centers for at least four weeks. This includes the Aloha site where we serve dinner on the third Wednesday of each month. Tomorrow night, March 18, was to be our next visit but it has been canceled.
HomePlate is instead expanding their day-space and outreach hours and focusing their services out of their Beaverton office.
Closing the drop-in sites means less access for youth so they are putting together resource backpacks for the youth to have. If you'd like to help get resources together for these bags, see the list here: RESOURCE BACKPACKS. There is also a link to their Amazon Wishlist at the top of the form.
Please contact Bonnie Becker with any questions.
