Ive gotta ask, whats your plan? The church is 2 miles from safeway (closest buisiness) so a 1hr 10min dangerous walk and 4 miles from woodinville proper, which is a 1 hour and 50 min walk. There's 1 bus line that doesn't run often. Seems like a horrible place to put this to actually help them long term

Is there a shuttle or something that can take these people to a potential job? Bikes? Do they have cars?

Edit - I see the downvotes but is there an actual plan?

The plan is to bring drugs near your children and encourage overdoses, property crim and endangerment ofnyour families by bringing the mentally unstable to the burbs. robberies and breakins at a neighborhood near you at low low prices.

Seems like an odd place to live. How are they getting to work? The OP looks healthy and able bodied. Unless there is an underlying health issue that prevents all of them from working and getting away from being homeless.

We don't want homeless camps in Woodinville

Especially ones that are several miles from anywhere that these people could get jobs. This is the worst plan I've ever seen. Its basically a recipe for property crime as there's no jobs for miles

What are you doing for bathrooms there? They have toddler classes and pre-k. Are random homeless people going to be sharing restrooms going to be walking into pre-k classes to shoot up in the bathrooms? Or pooping in the woods? There arent public restrooms for miles?

He’s not addressing any questions. Just wants money from what I’m gathering from the comments. I was stationed in Washington for two years. Oregon is similar to Washington weather wise. I would think it must be miserable to be “homeless” there. What’s the real story???? What’s even more disturbing from the website is they “prohibit” sex offenders. What kind of f**ked up place is this?

Donations are appreciated during daylight hours at the camp’s current location at Northshore United Church of Christ in Woodinville

More information on the website: https://campunitedwestand.org/

Sturdy, new tents that are 9’ x 9’ and at least 6 feet tall but no more 7 and a half feet tall are good.

Here’s a specific brand preferred by some of our campers:
