In response to the expected temperature drop on the nights of Dec. 2-4, community organizations across Volusia County are mobilizing to open cold-weather shelters. Individuals whose homes lack sufficient heating or are without housing are urged to take shelter during these evenings.
The Neighborhood Center's The Bridge, 421 S. Palmetto Ave., DeLand, will open a cold weather shelter nightly at 6:30 p.m. Guests are welcome to stay until about 8 a.m. the following mornings after breakfast is served. For further details about the shelter at The Bridge, contact the Neighborhood Center at 386-734-8120, ext. 601.
Residents on the county's east side can obtain shelter from the elements coordinated by Halifax Urban Ministries in partnership with churches. To arrange for sheltering on the east side, contact HUM at 386-317-5886.
