Good Afternoon,
I am writing in full support of the lifegiving work and care of the Flathead Warming
Center. Our community already has too few resources to serve those who need reliably
safe housing options. As our community continues to grow, it is crucial to prioritize the
perpetuation of the Flathead Warming Center.
Clearly communicating concerns as they arise is respectful and crucial to maintain
needed services in our community. I ask that you prioritize kind, direct, and clear
communication with the opportunity for education of local businesses and addressing
concerns with the Center. Clear conversations offer us all an opportunity to grow and
heal. There are many skilled facilitators in this community who may be able to offer
resources to support open dialogue that allows the Center to stay open and thrive in a
way that ensures understanding and comfort for surrounding businesses.
Sincerely,
Andrea Bachman
