Over the past five years, 21 homeless men and women in Petaluma have died outside and alone. The Committee on the Shelterless (COTS) now has an outreach specialist, Randy Clay, to build relationships with our most vulnerable neighbors and help them access treatment, medical services and housing. If you see someone you think needs help, please call Mr. Clay at 322-2732. Together, we can save lives (www.cots-homeless.org).

UUP does two special collections each year to support the kitchen and the shelter services offered by COTS.
