Code Blue Shelter Volunteers Needed In Bucks Co.

LOWER BUCKS COUNTY, PA — With temperatures dropping as winter approaches, the organization that runs Lower Bucks County's Code Blue shelters needs volunteers.

Advocates for the Homeless & Those in Need — a non-profit organization that provides meals, resources for laundry, hotel stays, and code blue shelters for the homeless community in Lower Bucks County — seeks volunteers to help support those services.

AHTN is offering a new volunteer training on Friday, Program Consultant Clarissa Makhoul said.

The training will be held from 7-8 p.m. at the Woodside Church, 1667 Edgewood Road in Yardley.

"This in-person training will cover everything you need to know to help keep our neighbors safe, warm, and cared for during freezing nights," Makhoul said.
