Yreka, CA-- Article
Last night as I was getting ready to leave the Y.C.R.C. as I was going out the back door Pastor Don Larreau from the church, the "Decision Life Church" @ 1301 S. Main Street, Yreka, CA. Phone number @ 530-841-0541. Pastor Don was coming in the back door I did not recognize him at first because he had a motorcycle helmet on. I have a Class 3 too. Kool!
I forgot all about the meeting as I have been busy preparing my legal case set for tomorrow at 8:30 AM in Room 206. The Siskiyou Domestic Violence & Crisis Center made it possible for me to have a motel room for one night at the Budget Inn at 306 N. Main Street Yreka, CA in room #114.
Don mentioned to me they were going to have the board meeting first and that the regular Homeless Concern Group Meeting would start at 5:30 PM. I mentioned to Don I would attend so I could write about it on my blog.
I went inside the back door as the meeting was beginning to start for the Homeless Concern Group. They have split into several different groups now.
They have organized the Leadership Group who are working on the vision of Homeless Concern Group. They have orgonized into several other groups such as Resource and Case Management.
There was news that another group has a 501C3 that may be able to help them get started and the name of that group is the "SECURITY OF THE LORD FOUNDATION"
The next thing this new group wants to do is come up with a meaningful name for themselves that represents what they are all about and that is why the Leadership group is meeting and working hard to come up a unique name.
In the mean time Dori one of the members of the group had already prepared a list and so she read her list as others in the group discussed her ideas off the list she had already prepared for this meeting.
Dori also spent her time printing out and organizing a pamphlet that can be handed out to people with all kinds of resource information for people in Siskiyou County as well as the city of Yreka, CA.
Next week the group plans on coming up with a great name for this new group that has organized with that purpose in mind. A Homeless shelter for those in the Yreka area.
A list titled "Food List For Yreka CA" such as the following:
1. Yreka Food Ministry
2. Yreka Tailgaters
3. Great Northern Corporation (GNC)
Here is a link that may help: Yreka California Food Pantry (Pantries), Soup Kitchens
Hot Meal:
2. St Joseph's Catholic Church
4. Yreka First Southern Baptist Church
It was a very good meeting and next week they will met again as they meet every Tuesday at 5:30 PM.
If people are interested in finding out more about this group and would like to join they can go to Yreka Homeless Group on Face Book. Or stop by 201 S Broadway or call the the Yreka Community Resource Center (Resources for all) @ (530) 842-1313 or visit the Yreka Community Resource Center.
As I leave to go back home sometime tomorrow to Tulelake where I live I wanted to take the time to thank all of the people at the "Decision Life Church" @ 1301 S. Main Street, Yreka, CA. And all the staff like Vickie, who without all her help I would not have made it. And to Michelle who is one of the people in charge of the Yreka Community Resource Center.
It was nice meeting all of you and now I have friends I look forward to meeting again the next time I visit Yreka, CA.
