Bethel Winter House - Uksumi Uitavik

Bethel Winter House - Uksumi Uitavik The Bethel Winter House is an Emergency Cold Weather non-profit Homeless Shelter in Bethel AK. Thank you for your support!

The Bethel Winter House was started in the winter of 2013 by a group of concerned citizens seeking to reduce the high number of exposure related fatalities in our area. Through a grass roots fundraising effort, an outpouring of volunteerism and the sponsorship of the Bethel Lions Club, the Winter House was born. We've been able to form our own 501c3 non-profit and are not affiliated with the Lions

Club anymore, but we are grateful for their encouragement and support during our first few years of operation. Our mission is to eliminate exposure related fatalities in the City of Bethel by providing an emergency cold weather shelter during the coldest months of the year. We provide our clients with a hot evening meal, a warm safe place to sleep and a limited breakfast the next morning. For our dinners, we rely solely on community volunteers to prepare and deliver the meals. Our meal calendar can be found at https://www.mealtrain.com/trains/dm872v. Since our inception we have significantly reduced exposure related fatalities in our region, reduced food insecurity and helped several of our clients obtain both benefits and jobs. in this tine of increasing costs and reduced government support, the generosity of concerned citizens, community partners and corporate sponsors is key to our survival.
