Cold weather headed our way, St. Louis County’s warming shelter is open now through March.

Howard Hayes, Director of Human Services, said the partnerships with the Salvation Army and United Way ensure St. Louis County can take care of our most vulnerable.

“The Salvation Army and United Way are longtime community partners and stand ready to help us through challenging times,” Hayes said. “If the Salvation Army reaches capacity, we will use other resources. No household in St. Louis County will be left outside to experience the inclement weather.”
