A shelter for the homeless in southern California is set to be named after late 'Jeopardy!' host, Alex Trebek. Hope of the Valley Rescue Mission in Northridge announced last week that the new shelter at the site of the former Skateland skating rink is being called The Trebek Center to help honor his legacy of helping others.
Trebek and his wife, Jean, previously donated $500,000 to the organization to help them purchase the property, which will be a 107-bed shelter. Alex has been a longtime advocate for helping those less fortunate and after his passing much of his 'Jeopardy!' wardrobe was donated to help homeless individuals find jobs.
