Volunteers construct platforms at Arcata Night Shelter site
Over a dozen volunteers came together on the weekend of October 10-11 to lay gravel and construct shelter platforms at the Arcata Night Shelter site, located just north of Arcata. The U-Domes will be assembled by more volunteers on October 24, which is national “Make a Difference Day” (If you would like to volunteer, call World Shelters at 707-822-6600.)
Here are some images of our hard-working volunteers in action. Many thanks to everyone who came out to help!
