Homelessness is a significant problem in Grand Junction, Colorado, and unfortunately for those in need, the Homeward Bound homeless shelter in the city will be experiencing an emergency closure this coming weekend, October 17 through October 19.

However, despite the unfortunate emergency closure of the homeless shelter, there are ways that the public can still help out those in need.

Grand Junction, Colorado Homeless Shelter Closed + Needs Assistance

Fortunately, it appears that the emergency closure of the Homeward Bound homeless shelter in Grand Junction, Colorado, will be just a temporary setback, and there are ways to help those in need in the meantime.

The staff at the Grand Valley Homeward Bound shelter have asked for volunteers to sort donations throughout the weekend and to assist with distribution at the navigation center. The navigation center is located at 2851 ½ North Avenue Suite 3 in Grand Junction.

While the homeless shelter is closed over the weekend, Homeward Bound is asking for donations from the public of a variety of items.

These include freeze-dried meals, wool blankets, emergency blankets, toothbrushes, toothpaste, tarps, camp dry spray, large backpacks, sleeping bags, closed cell sleeping bags, tents, wool socks, new underwear, and hand warmers.

A post from Mutual Aid Partners on Facebook is also requesting assistance from volunteers and is requesting that the public drop off donations at the Homeward Bound navigation center Monday through Friday next to J&M Aquatics on North Avenue.
