In-person Demonstration 8/23 - Pallet Temporary Micro Shelter - Flyer Attached
The public, those assisting with disaster relief, experiencing homelessness, service providers, and elected leaders are
invited to join Caring Choices this Monday, August 23, for an in-person demonstration of Pallet temporary micro
shelters.
The demonstrations will take place at two locations.
10am-1pm @ 2430 Mariposa Avenue, Chico – East Ave parking lot of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day
Saints
3pm-5pm @ 540 Main St, Chico - Parking lot of Jack's restaurant
As Caring Choices explores ways to create temporary shelters, for those in need, we would like to provide an
opportunity for evaluating Pallet micro shelters as an immediate solution. During the demonstration, Pallet is building
the micro shelter from start to finish and providing information about construction and amenities. Each unit provides
individual occupants with dignified, safe temporary shelter with locking door and protection from the elements
include heat, air conditioning, and insulation. Caring Choices is available during the event to answer questions and to
discuss how you can support our efforts to positively impact and improve the way in which people live.
Since 1993, Caring Choices has provided housing assistance and case management services to support our mission of
improving the health and welfare of residents in Northern California by providing services that are currently non-
existent or limited in availability and accessibility, improving community services through volunteerism.
Pallet is the national leader in rapid-response shelter villages and has provided thousands of individual
temporary shelter beds to cities throughout the country. A majority of the employees, who build these shelters,
have experienced homelessness, addiction, or incarceration.
Attached you will find a flyer about the event. Please forward to anyone you think would be interested in
attending the demonstration.
