HONESDALE, NY — The emergency shelter “Warmth in the Night,” which officially opened its doors for the season on December 1 at Grace Episcopal Church, will now be available even when it’s not quite as cold outside. Due to the inflow of a good number of new volunteers—whose generosity is in keeping with the spirit of the holiday season—the shelter will now be open on any night when temperatures are below freezing. Previously, the criterion for opening the shelter had been temperatures below 0 degrees Fahrenheit.

The shelter is open from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. on nights meeting the criterion. Grace Church is located at the corner of Church and 9th Streets. For information, or to volunteer, call 570/253-2760.
