Bundling Up The Homeless On Cold Nights

Lulu Vision

Colder weather requires robust survival skills for people living on the streets. 

And it places some burden on communities seeking to keep homeless people from freezing. 

Ashlandis in the process of adding shelter space for the cold winter nights ahead. 

We visit with shelter managers about the need, and the arrangements to meet the need.
