we are open until 10 p.m and have blankets and a few coats for people. We will not be here overnight due to lack of staff but if there is an increased need, i will look for someone to be here all night. Thanks to Tony, who stayed here last night, all night, we were able to shelter people for the first time since our cafe has been open. In closing, support your community and stay in communication. And everyone, please stay warm!
