Community Organizations in Volusia County to Open Cold-Weather Shelters January 6 - 8
Posted On: January 6, 2025
Due to the expected drop in temperatures, multiple community organizations in Volusia County will activate cold-weather shelters on the evenings of Monday, Jan. 6, through Wednesday, Jan. 8. These shelters serve as a refuge for individuals without adequate home heating or housing.
The Bridge at The Neighborhood Center, 421 S. Palmetto Ave., DeLand, will open its doors for these services starting at 6:30 p.m. each night. Guests are welcome to stay until about 8 a.m. the following mornings after breakfast is provided. For additional information about services at The Bridge, contact The Neighborhood Center at 386-734-8120, ext. 601.
On the county's east side, Halifax Urban Ministries (HUM) will coordinate shelter services with local churches on these nights. Although HUM does not operate a cold-weather shelter within its facilities, it partners with local organizations to offer shelter options. Individuals needing shelter or transportation to one are encouraged to contact HUM at 386-317-5886 as soon as possible.
