REST - The Regional Emergency Shelter Team
REST is a newly formed non-profit. We will be providing emergency shelter and food to homeless families, single women and couples within the Yuba-Sutter area from December 1, 2010 to March 31, 2011. This will be a rotating shelter hosted by area churches on a weekly basis.
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!! We will be following the same format
as last year's program FEWS, Family Emergency Winter Shelter.
