Warming center open next 5 days

From Executive Director Jeff Conroy/St Vincent de Paul North Idaho:

With the extreme cold weather, St Vincent de Paul’s Warming Center will be open tonight through the weekend. Future nights will be extended as extreme cold persists. As the sub-25 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 Community Dining Hall 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 50 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 Ben 208-771-5396.
