Those experiencing homelessness will have a place to warm their hands and feet this winter, thanks to a local pastor.
The Manitowoc Warming Shelter will open up next month at 502 North 8th Street, which is also the home of First Presbyterian Church. Pastor Matt Sauer was the mastermind behind the shelter, which will be able to house 12 individuals a night.
He says that people will be admitted on a first come first served basis, and will be served an evening meal, breakfast, and a sack lunch at no cost.
This warming shelter is designed to fill the space between services of other organizations such as The Haven and Hope House.
