Warming Center, tonight. Come in from the cold, y'all.

Just a quick note to let y'all know that a "warming center" will be in operation tonight at the VOA's detox center at 5th & Richards, therebouts.

Temperatures are forecast to drop below freezing by sunup.

I will be riding around with the VOA van tonight to pick up anyone outside wanting/needing to come in from the cold.

Update, morning of 12/7: I didn't "make the van," but it did go out to try to bring some folks in. Last night, both the mission dining room and the Delany Center at Loaves & Fishes were open to keep people warm. I understand that Salvation Army and the VOA will be open tonight (and subsequent nights, depending on conditions) to keep people warm and to provide a space where people may sleep.
