A local Church has graciously opened their facility to allow EChO to operate the Shelter, but the location of the Shelter
is NOT to be disclosed to any potential Guest until after EChO has met with them and completed screening.

Please direct all people seeking Shelter to the main EChO Location (27888 Meadow Drive, Evergreen).

If EChO is closed, advise people they can call 911 and the Sherriff can initiate contact with the Shelter.

DO NOT direct people to the Shelter or disclose the Shelter location.
