Cold Weather Shelter

Hours: Open from 6:00 pm – 7:00 am 

The Salvation Army Center of Hope at 2019 22nd Street.

Doors open at 6:00 p.m. for Cold Weather Shelter clients and close at 10:00 p.m. for lights out. Dinner is at 6:30 p.m. and breakfast will be provided at the shelter.

Cold Weather Shelter

The Salvation Army provides shelter to anyone in need when it is 35 degrees and below. 

We use the Weather Channel 24 hours in advance to decide if the shelter will be open according to these weather reports so we can coordinate supplies and volunteers.  

Local news stations will be alerted as soon as possible so they can advertise the shelter being open.

Prepackaged meals will be served for dinner and breakfast. All CDC guidelines must be followed including wearing masks and social distancing. Beds will be positioned 6 ft apart from each other to follow these guidelines. Guests will need to fill out a survey about their health and provide a photo ID before entering. Space is limited and is provided on a first-come first-served basis.
