New Bedford cold weather overflow shelter open tonight, Nov. 21

Due to expected temperature drop for this evening, the overflow will be opened tonight. Guests can arrive at 6pm and the cutoff time will be 8:30pm. We will expect to reach capacity of 30 guests within the next few days with the temps “feeling” lower than 10 degrees. The message is to plan accordingly and arrive early so ensure a cot. All inquires can be forwarded to 1-800-homeless and Sister Rose House.
