Volusia County community organizations are mobilizing to provide cold-weather shelter services for the upcoming temperature drop. These shelters offer a warm refuge for individuals without adequate home heating or housing.

The Bridge at The Neighborhood Center, 421 S. Palmetto Ave., DeLand, will open its cold-weather shelter on Saturday night, Jan. 4. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m., and guests may stay until approximately 8 a.m. Sunday morning after breakfast is served. For more information about services at The Bridge, call the Neighborhood Center at 386-734-8120, ext. 601.

On the county's east side, Halifax Urban Ministries (HUM) will coordinate cold-weather shelter services with local churches for the night of Saturday, Jan. 4. Although HUM does not operate a cold-weather shelter at any of its facilities, it works with partner organizations to provide shelter options. Individuals needing shelter or transportation to a shelter are encouraged to contact HUM as soon as possible at 386-317-5886.
