It’s that time of year again. It’s cold. And being outside in the cold isn’t anyone’s idea of a good time. It is suggested that you call the shelters with phone numbers to make sure that they’re open. Some of these organizations DO NOT offer overnight shelter. Please save this info and share with anyone who might need it.
