Shelter open for the community against cold weather in Columbus
COLUMBUS, Miss. (WCBI) – After a taste of false Spring, Winter is making a comeback this week.
Sub-freezing temperatures expected for the coming days will make conditions dangerous for the homeless and those with inadequate heating.
In Columbus, the Emergency Hope Crisis Response Network, a partnership of the city, the Homeless Coalition, the United Way, and Genesis Church is stepping in to help out.
The network’s warming shelter at Genesis Church has re-opened.
The shelter opens at 5 p.m.
Genesis Church is located on 23rd Street North in Columbus.
This afternoon, Pastor Darren Leach posted on social media that they are in need of volunteers.
