The homeless encampment is seeking donations for its new location at St. Jude Catholic Church on Education Hill. In addition, residents are invited to come help set up tents at the camp.

The homeless encampment is making its third stay in five years at the grassy church grounds, located at 10526 166th Ave. N.E.

Tent City 4 residents are seeking a variety of specialized items to help with the move — dubbed as “organized chaos” by camp advisor Bruce Thomas.

For the move, Tent City 4 will need:

• Duct tape

• Twine

• Nylon rope

• Eight penny nails (a box if possible)

• Large trash bags (Every camper’s belongings go into labeled trash bags to move)

• Half-inch EMT conduit (they need 200feet of it to make their fence.)

• Work gloves

• Coffee, creamer, sugar, milk

• Packages of hot cereal mix

In addition, Tent City 4 could use some help with transporting residents and workers between the Kirkland Congregational Church, where the camp is located now, to St. Jude Catholic Church. The moving action begins at 5:30 Saturday morning.

To make donations or to help with the move, call (206)-618-3901.
