With these plummeting temps, those who are homeless are having a VERY hard time!! PLEASE consider donating hand/toe/body warmers the various shelters and/or blankets/pillows.
Area shelters are also expanding capacity and reducing restrictions during this time. Resources for those in need of a place to stay are:

Also there are some members of our community who are homeless, but still have pets. Those pets will prohibit them from staying in a shelter. It is my hope that if someone finds themselves in that situation, that they reach out on here and members of the community would be willing to step in and take their pet for a few days until the temps warm up a little!! If we all come together, we can make this better for those less fortunate!
