St Vinnys shelter open this weekend

The cold stretch continues. Extreme cold weather is lingering so the St Vincent de Paul’s Warming Center will be open the evenings of December 9th through Sunday night December 11th. As always, all future nights will be extended as extreme cold persists.

As the sub-30 degree temperatures continue, St Vincent’s shelter will always be open from 7:00pm-7:00am. Transportation will be leaving from the St Vincent de Paul Father Bill’s Kitchen at 6:45pm on the nights we are open, and will transport back the next morning.

The Post Falls Shelter located at 202 W. 7th Street in Post Falls, behind the Post Falls St Vincent de Paul Thrift Store, in the Kamps Apartment basement. St Vincent de Paul is able to shelter 40 individuals and will have available sleeping bags, blankets, gloves, stocking caps, coats, a full bathroom, warm food and drinks.

A huge Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to donate sleeping bags, blankets, and food. Everything has been so appreciated by those we serve.

Because of the need St Vincent de Paul is accepting donations of warm food at both locations. If you are able to help or donate please contact Warming Center Coordinator Scott at 208-664-3095 Ext. 306
