POULSBO — The Poulsbo Rotary Club will hold an informational meeting on Jan. 7, 2:30 p.m., in the City Council chambers about bringing a youth shelter to Poulsbo.

The Coffee Oasis cafe in Bremerton also operates a shelter for homeless teens. Poulsbo Rotary Club president Meredith Green said that, after raising money in April, the club reached out to several resources to bring a youth shelter to North Kitsap and decided to try and expand the Oasis Teen Shelter in Poulsbo.

The Poulsbo Rotary Club has sponsored community meetings to address teen homelessness in North Kitsap.
