Warming Shelter Opening

There will be a warming shelter opening this evening at the Kelso First Assembly of God Church located at 1517 N. 4th Avenue (at the corner of 4th and Academy Street). The shelter will be open from 9:00 p.m. to 9:00 a.m. for the next few nights in the Activity Center on the upper floor of the church. Plans are being worked up to provide soup or a warm meal for those who come to the shelter. We would appreciate it if you would distribute information about the warming shelter to those persons who may be homeless or living in a place that is too cold to safely occupy. The shelter is being organized and sponsored by several of the church groups in Cowlitz County. Organizers are looking for help with blankets and snacks. If you have questions, please contact Liz Haeck at 442-0612 or Cindy Helms-Jarrell 442-8774.
