Camp Hope’s extreme winter weather shelter is now open in Toppenish for people experiencing homelessness in the area.

The shelter is operating as a low-barrier, 24-hour, emergency shelter, meaning that they will take anyone 24-hours-a-day.
The shelter is located at 508 W. 1st Avenue in Toppenish. The Toppenish location has the capacity to serve about 60 people on a nightly basis. If you are experiencing homelessness, call the 24-hour hotline at 509-424-1228. To volunteer, bring a meal, or organize a fundraiser/donation drive call or text 503-741-7532.
