The CB Code Blue Project provides overnight shelter when the forecasted temperature is 28 degrees (including wind chill or extreme precipitation) or lower as well as every Thursday night regardless of overnight low temperature.  The CB Code Blue Shelter cannot open any night unless we have a full slate of 15 volunteers filled.  The CB Code Blue Project season runs from December 1 through March 31.  

 

The CB Code Blue Project and the work of CSSH is considered an essential service. CSSH's Volunteer Team members sign up for a specific job and date through the Volunteer Hub website. When a "Code Blue" is called, the Volunteer Team is notified by email. Volunteers arrive at the CB Code Blue Host Site at the scheduled time for their position. Each CB Code Blue Host Site has a Site Coordinator.
 

Some examples of volunteer jobs include: van driving and attendance, set up and preparation, welcome and intake, meal service, overnight staff, and cleaning support. All volunteers are required to complete training and a background check before volunteering. Drivers require additional training.
