Homeless Shelter extends hours...
With wind chills expected to dip below zero over the next couple of days, the only homeless shelter in Hazleton is extending its hours.
Right now almost a dozen people are staying at Divine Providence Shelter, but coordinators believe more men and women will walk through the doors as the week goes on.
Volunteers are dropping off hot dinners to the shelter on North Laurel Street in the city, which normally operates overnight, but during this cold snap, it is being staffed 24/7 through Thursday. (possibly as long as Saturday)
The Divine Providence Shelter will be moving to a new location on West Walnut Street in a few weeks. For more information or to make a donation, call (570) 861-4750.
