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 what are usually called ‘drop-in’ services - supportive listening, laundry, showers and resource library– in a modified way.

Details:

• Women 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.

Can’t Wait to Reserve My Spot!

Modified drop-in services begin this Saturday, June 27th. Please call between 9am-7pm to reserve your spot.

DWS’ emergency shelter and 24-hour support line never close! Please call if you are in immediate need of safe housing, supportive listening, or are worried about a friend – 867.993.5086.

DWS offers all of our services free of charge. Donate today to help support our work.
