The weather has been relatively mild recently (with some big dumps of rain) but the forecasts are saying temperatures will dip below zero on the weekend. As always, we'll make a final decision each morning by 10 a.m. to open or not. But we try to make the decision the evening before to allow time to mobilize the volunteers and staff.
At last night's community meal at St Alban, four of our shelter guests from last week were in attendance. They are hoping for cooler weather so we can open. Hugh, one of our overnight shelter staff also volunteers at the community meal and he noted that the footwear of these four guys was really lacking, so he's taking the initiative to find them good boots.
If anyone has a lead on where we can get free or very discounted boots for some needy people, please let us know.
