In past years, we have opened up cold weather shelters in Sts. Peter and Paul Catholic Church, North Decatur Presbyterian Church and Decatur First United Methodist Church. 

​

Because of COVID-19, we will not be able to open a physical location this winter. But, with the generosity of Holy Trinity Episcopal Parish, we will be housing families with children in hotels, and will provide material assistance to others. 

​

Here are our plans and we are asking for your help.

​

Meet in Sycamore House parking lot at 4 PM on the evenings when the temperature is forecasted to fall to or below 35 degrees. You will be notified of opening nights.

​

We will be providing:

   • Sleeping bags, blankets, socks, mylar blankets, hygiene

      kits, and hand warmers to be included in a “survival kit”
   • A hearty supper bag or gift card for nourishment
   • Round trip Marta cards to help people travel to the

      overflowAtlanta cold weather shelters. 

​

Please sign up on our Sign-Up Genius, Cold Weather Assistance, to help us keep people safe this winter.
 

Or make a donation. Round trip Marta cards are $6 each. We will be providing approximately 30 cards a night with the possibility of 30 cold weather nights. Every cent you donate goes to helping those without a home and for our new rapid re-housing initiative – placing people in permanent homes.
