HR Shelter Services and Mid-Columbia Community Action
HOOD RIVER / THE DALLES — Hood River Shelter Services and Mid-Columbia Community Action has joined forces with new partner Purposity to connect community needs with those who can meet those needs, said Alicia Speidel, HRSS board chair.
The app-based Purposity platform allows the two organizations to share specific needs and long-term goals of the clients they serve. To join the partnership, download the Purposity app or visit www.purposity.com/organization/mccac to see current client needs.
Needs needs are shared by the staff at both Hood River Shelter Services and Mid-Columbia Community Action and, once those needs are met, Purposity sends those items directly to the organizations to be distributed to clients.
