The Sheltering Tree will open its cold-weather shelter on Monday night at the Rock Transformation Center (formerly Church on the Rock) not only for the homeless, but for anyone who is without heat.

The National Weather Service is predicting temperatures in the high 30s during the overnight hours on January 29. The criteria for opening the cold-weather shelter is based on overnight temperatures that drop below 40 degrees.

“Flagler County has experienced a few cold fronts during January, and we continue to urge those who lack adequate housing or adequate heat for their residences to come to the cold-weather shelter,” said Health and Human Services Director Joseph Hegedus. “The Sheltering Tree and the Rock Transformation Center will provide cots and meals. We – Flagler County – will be providing transportation to the shelter for those who need it.”
