winter shelter coalition

No data loads and the app doesn’t work. It’s a great idea for first responders to find information but there isn’t any information available on the app.

Found out about this app while reading through the Express News. This is such a phenomenal idea . It was very sad to see so many homeless people bundled up outside without any shelter during the last storm. My sweet at the time 6 year old daughter came across a homeless man bundled up outside an ihop when we had gone to look for open places to eat, and she just couldn’t handle the pain of seeing him. She had just lost 2 teeth and had $20 in cash from the tooth fairy. She carried it with her everywhere, and when she saw this man her little heart couldn’t take it, and went outside of the car with her dad to give it to the gentleman. I wish we had, had more to give or offer, such as money for him a hotel, or some way to provide a warm place for him to sleep, but the hoops you have to jump through to find availability at these shelters is damning. When I read this on the Express news today I knew I had to get this app, this way if the situation arises, or we encounter someone down on their luck, we can look on here and at least help set them up somewhere. God bless the people who truly want to help and make a difference in our society. This is going to help so many people.
