Tent City 4 Moving Day and Medical Day Info
Dear Tent City 4 supporters,
Move Day (January 21) is almost upon us! Medical Day (January 14) is next weekend!
FOR MEDICAL DAY Angela Wood is the organizer (wood.angela@gmail.com). She is still looking for medical supplies (gloves, bandages, tongue depressors, cleaning supplies, etc.) and additional volunteer staff for that day. We could use a few volunteer receptionists/ hospitality people as well. Please contact her directly if you can help or know of a source of supplies.
They do not have an eye care specialist signed up, but suggested that we help residents who need those services to get to the United Way Community Resource Exchange which will take place at CenturyLink Field (formerly Qwest Field) Friday, Jan. 13, 2012. The event connects homeless individuals and families with the services they need all in one place, in one day—with everything from housing, employment and legal assistance to free health services, haircuts, and voicemail accounts. CenturyLink Field (aka Qwest Field) 800 Occidental Avenue South, Seattle, Washington 98134 9:00 a.m. – 2:30 p.m.–
MOVE DAY supplies are being requested. The hosting committee is buying 50 new sheets of plywood, but the camp could also use some new pallets. Let Elizabeth Maupin (elimapin@gmail.com) or Steve Burk (TC4meals@gmail.com) know if you have a source of supply — or a means of transporting them to the new site at Holy Spirit Lutheran in Kirkland.
Other supplies needed:
– Lots of 33 gallon trash bags (used to move blankets as well as personal items) [they can use these a week ahead of the move as they begin packing.] — also about 2000 11″ zip ties.
– 24 rolls of duct tape
– 4 large balls of twine
– many feet of rope
– tools (hammers and cats paws for pulling nails)
– work gloves
– 20 2″x4″ x 8 ‘ fir studs
– 20 EMT conduit (1/2″ x 10′) & connectors
Call 206 618 3901 with any questions on move supplies.
Move Day volunteers — the camp census will be pretty low for this move, so outside help will be appreciated! For up to the minute information, keep checking http://tentcity4.info/
THANKS!
