Residents of Tent City 3 set up in Shoreline last week at the Shoreline Free Methodist Church, 510 NE 175th Street, across from the Shoreline Library.
Shoreline Free Methodist was the first church to host Tent City 3 in Shoreline, in 2003. Pastor Jeff Horton reports that they hosted again in 2013, so this is their third time.
The site is somewhat secluded, away from view of the street.
Pastor Horton says there are several ways that people can help with Tent City 3.
ShareWheel, the sponsoring organization, maintains a website where groups or individuals can sign up to provide general donation needs to residents. Website.
A lot of local groups and even a few families have provided meals to residents. Here is the specific schedule for signing up to provide dinners.
Each host church incurs costs hosting the mobile city. Horton says "We provide electricity for the camp (lights, microwave, computers, TV, hot water tank for shower) as well as water for the shower."
Anyone who would like to help the church with these costs can contribute at this link for online contributions (with drop-down menu for "Tent City" Fund).
