ROOTS, an emergency shelter for young adults located in the U District, is in desperate need of volunteers during spring break. ROOTS relies on volunteers, many of whom come through service learning at the 91±¬ÁÏ. During spring break, the number of available volunteers drops dramatically. Without the minimum number of volunteers for evening and overnight, the shelter cannot open. The need is for 8-10:30 p.m., overnight, and breakfast crews, with the evenings and overnights being most critical. In order to volunteer overnight, it is necessary to attend Homelessness 101. There will be another class from 6:30 to 10:30 p.m. on Wednesday, March 7.
ROOTS is located in University Temple United Methodist Church in the U District. For more information, go to .
