Homeless City Men Can Get "Out Of The Cold"

If there was ever a night to have shelter from the storm, it's tonight and one City church will be providing just that.
The "Out of the Cold" shelter operates out of the Grace Presbyterian Church on Coburg street.
Co-ordinator Jillian Driscoll tells CHSJ News they reopened for the winter on January 1st and have the capacity for 15 men a night.

She says they always need volunteers, money to provide the men who come to stay with their basic needs and she adds they also feed them.

Driscoll adds volunteers are always needed along with donations of gift cards for coffee shops and grocery stores, food donations, cash and men's socks.
The shelter opens at 9pm and closes at 8am the next morning.

For more information on volunteering call Fern Bennett at 645-9208.
To make a cash donation, call the church at 634-7765 or to donate gift cards, food or men's socks call 672-4952.
