Celebrate Another Great Step Forward by COTS — Eleven New Rooms of Emergency Shelter for Families

We are so incredibly fortunate to have COTS in our community, serving those who need our help the most. 

Over the past few years families without shelter have been provided with temporary emergency housing in Petaluma at the Mary Isaak Center on Hopper Street. Although this is a great facility, it provides all of the initial sheltering for COTS many diverse clients.

Families with young children now have their own specially designated and designed rooming at 1500 Petaluma Boulevard South, thanks to the support of the community, especially those generous businesses and organizations listed below.

You are invited to visit the new COTS Family Center for a celebratory ribbon cutting on Saturday, June 27th, 2015. There's so much wonderful work and volunteerism behind the scenes to make it possible for lives to transition. It really is extra special when whole families are cared for enough by their community to get back on their feet and step into a brighter, more self sufficient future. There are lots of ways to help if you'd like to.  

The ribbon cutting takes place from 10 am to 11.30 am. 

Learn more about what you and your family can do to support others who may be struggling. Family friendly and appropriate for all ages.
