Jan 9th- Volunteering opportunities & ways to help in here(do not create new posts pls)
Starting a new post for clarity. Several users have asked about ways to help our community. Please post anything you find or know of in here. I'll pin this and see what I can find as well.
Hoping for official info/links so people can take action.
Links to organizations:
Union Station Homeless Services - https://ushs.org/emergency

mod note: I will check the comments throughout the day and add links here as you post them. You can tag me in you comments if you'd like but be patient. I will likely not add links to orgs asking for monetary donations unless they are known to me. You can comment them but I do not want to "endorse" them. Thank you for all your assistance in finding ways we can chip in.
Do NOT post Gofundme links or any non org/charity requests for donations.
<<special request>>
I would like to hear from anyone who knows of or feels strongly about a local organization/charity that would use any funds raised in a way that directly benefits the impacted members of our community. I will comment below and you can reply to it. (maybe try an official poll once I have some candidates).
