Almost one month after Nickelsville moved back into the U-District, a representative of the University Congregational United Church of Christ tells us everything is going smoothly. The tent city will stay two more months in the church’s parking lot at NE 45th Street and 15th Ave NE.
Church officials says Nickelsville residents are in need of many things, especially socks and underwear for both men and women. Here’s a list of other items that can help:
- Camp stoves
- Tents
- Batteries
- Paper plates
- Plastic spoons and forks
- Ice
- Canned goods
- Ready to eat meals
- Monetary donations
Items can be brought to the church office or directly to Nickelsville at the entrance on the alley behind the church.
