Hobey, from Milton-Freewater, spent the tail-end of winter in the Sleep Center. Nobody knew where he went during the day, but everybody knew what he did at night - charged his phone. While his phone was charging, he read the U-B. Now the secret’s out -- he’s been looking for work, papering the county with employment applications. Now, he has a job at Walmart. Proudly flashes his employee vest when we encounter him there.

Need to Take a Shower?
Showers are available:
​
For those who reside at the Sleep Center, showers are available most evenings.
​
For those who are engaged in the Exit Homelessness Program, showers are available on Monday and Wednesday mornings at 9AM.
​
Our mobile shower trailer operates on Fridays next to the free lunch at New Beginnings Church at 11th and Main, from 10AM to 1PM. It is open for anyone who needs to shower.
Don, who lived at the Sleep Center for a year, and Bill, who met him in the camp this spring, have remained friends. They’ve come by to update us on their progress. Each has found housing through BMAC and the Walla Walla Housing Authority. And each is employed. Don is picking up jobs as an old-school, like-grandma-did-it housecleaner, and liking the work pretty well. Bill works at the Walmart Distribution Center; to hear him tell it, by this time next year he’ll be running the place.

Jake is a young man who stayed at the Sleep Center on and off over a period of a few months. Then I did not see him for several months. I ran into him recently at John's Wheatland Bakery in town. He had his motorcycle parked outside and had a big smile on his face. He said that he had joined the National Guard and that things were going great for him. And he really did look good and happy.
