Kelvin – Shelter Hotline Driver

December 7, 2017

“It means that I get the chance to be hands on with my community and help those less fortunate. To try to save lives out here in the cold weather and cool them down in the summer. I actually get to help people and check on them in the future. I get to pass the opportunities that I was given on to other people. Also to have a job that I really care about, that I am really happy to get up every day to come here to do.”

Kelvin is a Shelter Hotline driver. The Shelter Hotline provides transportation services for DC’s homeless to help prevent hypothermia in the winter and hyperthermia in the summer. Drivers also distribute comfort items, such as socks and toiletries, to help the homeless.

He cares about providing aid to the city’s vulnerable population. He is UPO!
