Thank you Teresa Wilder for the information.
Fayetteville, Arkansas. January 11
7hills Homeless Center, Genesis Church, St. James Baptist Church, New Beginning Bridge Housing Community and The Salvation Army of Northwest Arkansas have teamed up to provide a collaborative solution to protect anyone needing shelter during these extreme cold days. When the temperatures reach a wind chill or “feels-like” temperature of 15 degrees or less, this team springs into action to save lives.
During the evening, once the emergency shelter at Salvation Army reaches capacity, Genesis Church will open its doors to operate an emergency overflow shelter. Guests staying there will have cots, blankets, pillows, and a storage bin.
People are allowed to check in at 6PM and enjoy a warm dinner provided by Genesis Church. At 6:00 AM, Genesis Church, St. James Baptist Church and The Salvation Army close their overnight shelter. Transportation is provided to 7hills Homeless Center. 7hills opens early on these cold days to provide a warming center, coffee, breakfast and lunch, winter clothing, and bathrooms.
7hills extends their normal operating hours to 6PM to complement the Genesis Church and St. James Baptist Church shelter operating hours. Addresses and phone numbers are listed below:
