With colder nighttime temperatures forecast on the west side of Volusia County this weekend, cold-weather sheltering will be available through The Bridge on the evenings of Saturday, Feb. 7, and Sunday, Feb. 8, to assist individuals without adequate heating or shelter.
The Bridge, operated by the Neighborhood Center and located at 421 S. Palmetto Ave. in DeLand, will offer overnight cold-weather sheltering both evenings. Guests may arrive beginning at 6:30 p.m. and may remain until approximately 8 a.m. the following morning, with breakfast provided before closing.

On the east side of the county, forecasted nighttime temperatures are not expected to drop below 40 degrees, and cold-weather shelter coordination through Halifax Urban Ministries (HUM) will not be activated for these evenings.
Volusia County continues to monitor weather conditions and remains in regular communication with community partners to help share timely information regarding cold-weather sheltering. When requested, the County also assists shelter providers by supplying water, food, bedding, and other essential items.
