CVRM presenting new expanded Women’s and Children’s Shelter on April 29th

INDIO, Calif. (KESQ) - The Coachella Valley Rescue Mission is continuing to help women and children in need. On Tuesday April 29th, the rescue mission will host it's ribbon cutting event for their new Women's and Children's expansion shelter.

The expanded shelter space adds an additional sixty beds to care for clients. Women and children who stay here are provided wrap-around services - things like meals, health care, education, and job training.

CVRM Development Coordinator Kristen Crawford says that the expansion is meant to give security to women and children who are experiencing homelessness for a number of reasons.

All the new beds within the expanded shelter space have already been assigned to women and children in need. Shelter officials say the expansion was made possible through the help of the county and from community members who donate.
