Warming Center to remain open tonight

The St. Vincent de Paul Warming Center will remain open tonight.

Future nights will be extended as extreme cold persists.

As the sub-28 degree temperatures continue, St. Vincent’s shelters will always be open from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. To take people to the shelter, a van will be leaving Father Bill’s Kitchen at the St Vincent de Paul campus in Coeur d’Alene at 6:30 p.m. and driving people back to Father Bill’s Kitchen the next morning.

Drop-ins are always welcome anytime after 7 p.m.

The Post Falls Shelter is located at 202 W. Seventh St., behind the Post Falls St. Vincent de Paul Processing Center, 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.

The nonprofit thanks those who have donated sleeping bags, blankets and food.

Because of the need, St. Vincent de Paul is accepting donations of warm food at both locations.

If you can donate, call 208-664-3095, ext. 306.
