After 17 years and two sites, the Cold Weather Shelter is seeking a new location to assist those in need in Flagler County on cold weather nights between November and March.

Could your organization help? Do you have a space we can rent during the cold season?

Look inside your hearts and offices to see if you can become a host site and help us serve those in need.

For more information please call and either Martin or Charlene will return your call.

God Bless and thank you for your consideration. 386-437-3258 ext 105

We are in an immediate need for a new location for our charity bike shop.

We were just informed by the Atlantis Business plaza management that we can no longer use the parking spaces for displaying bikes in front of the shop when we are open.

This will put a serious dent in our operations because we do not have enough room to store bikes inside when we are working in the shop area. Currently we repair and distribute 2,500 bicycles annually through our 35+ partners in 4 counties.

We need a 3,000 Sq ft. secure space to move our operation or we will be forced to dismantle the organization and dissolve the charity after 12 years of operation.

This comes as a little shock to us and we need to move on this immediately. If we are forced to close, there is no other group here in Flagler County to pick up this needed service to the community.

If anyone knows of space available that can be donated or at minimal cost, please let us know at 386-283-0111 (Voice or text). THANK YOU and please share this post to spread the word.
