New Bedford overflow shelter open tonight

Due to the expected frigid temperatures for this evening, the overflow will be opened at the Sister Rose Shelter this evening. Guests can start to arrive at 6pm and the cut off time will be 8:45pm. Plan accordingly as we have a capacity of 25 individuals, men and women and that is on a first come, first serve basis. Anybody trying to enter the facility with drugs or weapons will be denied entry. Any further inquiries can be forwarded to Sister Rose House or 1-800-homeless.
