DWS Opening for Modified Support, Showers, and Laundry Services

Missed having a tea and chat at DWS? Or borrowing an awesome feminist book? We’ve missed you too.

Keeping the safety of the Dawson community - especially elders and chronically ill folks - in mind, DWS will be reopening all drop-in services - supportive listening, laundry, showers, and resource library– in a modified way.

Details:

Women, gender diverse folks, and non-binary folks can call DWS to reserve a two-hour time slot between 9:30am and 7pm each day – 867.993.5086.
Two hours gives enough time to wash and dry a load of laundry.
Modified drop-in services include supportive listening, laundry, showers and our DWS lending library.
We ask folks to come one at a time as our space is small and follow the six steps to staying safe:
- Keep 2 meters away from others
- Wash hands when entering the shelter
- Stay home if you’re feeling sick
- Don’t gather in groups of ten or more
- Limit travel
- Self-isolate when returning to Yukon or have been in contact with someone who has COVID-19
Can’t phone ahead? You can reserve your spot by emailing shelterdirector@northwestel.net.
