Providing Overnight Shelter This Sunday, November 9th in Anticipation of the Extreme Cold Weather
The Unified Government of Wyandotte County and Kansas City, Kansas (UG) has partnered with community organization Mt. Carmel Redevelopment Corporation this year to manage and operate a temporary KCK Cold Weather Overnight Shelter.
This year the overnight shelter will be at the Wilhelmina "Willa" Gill Multi-Service Center (645 Nebraska Ave, Kansas City, KS 66101). This service will be available to those in need on nights when the temperature is 25 degrees Fahrenheit or below. Guests will be allowed to begin lining up at the shelter at 5:00 PM, with shelter doors opening at 6:00 PM. The expected maximum capacity of the shelter will be 40 adults, and available beds will be first come, first served.
In anticipation of this Sunday's extreme cold weather forecast, the overnight shelter will be opened (November 9th) to serve guests for the first time this season. Guests will be provided a warm meal, a sleeping mat, a blanket, and a tent to sleep in. In the morning guests will also be provided with a grab-and-go breakfast as they leave the shelter by 8:00 AM.
The overnight shelter will be staffed with a diverse pool of people from those working in homeless services, behavioral health, healthcare, community members, and persons with lived experience.
Determination whether the shelter will be open for the evening will be made by 8:00 AM each day, and the information will be available by calling 913-621-4690.
Volunteer opportunities and other ways community members can support and donate to the KCK Cold Weather shelter will be shared very soon to assist with the official November 15th opening date.
