It surprises many that our little Shangri-La of Salida, Colorado has many adults, children and families living in homelessness.  But rarely a night goes by without someone needing a place to sleep.  On our cold winter nights, this is not just a matter of convenience; it’s a matter of life and death.  

Chaffee County Hospitality Inc. (formerly known as the Chaffee County Homeless Coalition) wants to ensure that those who need it will have a warm and safe place to stay during the coldest months of the year.  Now its own 501c3, CCHI will once again operate a winter shelter for men and women who are experiencing homelessness.  

The shelter for men will be in The Lighthouse, located at 346 G Street with space for 10 men.  The shelter for single women will be in the 1St Christian Church, located at 302 4th Street with space for 10 women.  Families will be lodged in local motels.  The shelter will be open from 8:30 p.m. – 8:30 a.m. during the months of November – April.

CCHI needs to raise $76,000, which will be used to pay the night staff, purchase motel vouchers, sleeping bags and pads, tents and other cold weather supplies as needed.  

Besides this Go Fund Me page, donations may also be given to Chaffee County Hospitality Inc.   Make checks payable to Chaffee County Hospitality Inc. and mail them to the First Presbyterian Church, 7 Poncha Blvd., Salida, CO 81201.

Salida is a caring community and members of Chaffee County Hospitality Inc. feel this is an important service we can provide to those who are struggling.  We thank you for your generous donations.
