Love Overwhelming, LO, is a nonprofit organization in COwlitz COunty. LO is a gatekeeper for services and I had the opportunity to do my senior capstone at the emergency cold weather shelter. THere is no on going low barrier shelter in my community, so lo teamed up with the kelso longview minsity association, klma, to put on a cold weather shelter. when tempatures reach below 33 degrees for two or more days the shelter can open up at a local church.

I was able to link up with someone from facebook the founder of project feministesity and provide all the women at shelter with a purse filled with feminine hygiene products, hair ties, snacks, wipes and many other things.
One guest said "Maybe the gas station will let me use the bathroom now since I wont be coming in with a huge garbage bag, I can just bring in my purse"
