Cold Night Shelter
We believe that everyone deserves a warm and safe place to sleep at night. That is why we help to provide emergency shelter during freezing temperatures.
The shelter, located at MLK Rec Center, is equipped with cots provided by the Florida Department of Health, and volunteers, including local restaurants that help provide meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Join us in providing comfort to our homeless community.
