Nearly 300 people stayed warm on Saturday night thanks to the Salvation Army of North Texas’ warming shelters amid the bitterly cold start to the new year.
Social workers and case managers can help families find a permanent place to call home.
“Anytime we’re offering warm shelters, it gives us an opportunity to reach out on a deeper level with folks and making sure they understand the resources that we do have,” said Wach. “If you’re out shopping, and about, and you see someone in their car or on the corner of on the street, just encourage them to go to a center and get help because we want them to stay warm tonight,” said Wach.
Those at the warming shelters will get a hot meal and a safe place to stay, and no one will be turned away.There are other cold weather shelters open across North Texas. Union Gospel Mission Dallas has room for families in need at 3211 Irving Boulevard in Dallas. Those in need can also call 214-637-6117.
