In partnership with local organizations, UUCV seeks to support the unhoused folks in our community. Church members provide meals and supplies, fill volunteer shifts, and spend quality time with the families in our partner organization programs.

For more information or to sign up to volunteer, contact us@uucvan.org.

What We Do

UUCV supports the Winter Hospitality Program. The WHO Program is an interfaith and community-supported overflow shelter that offers temporary winter shelter to unhoused folks in our area. The program is housed at St Andrew Lutheran Church, 5607 Northeast Gher Road, Vancouver, Washington, 98662. It offers shelter for families, single women and couples without children from November 1 – March 31 each year.

You can find more details about how to support them here.

For more info, contact Dave Irwin (in UUCV directory). Thank you for your valuable time.
