FISH opens Carson City warming shelter through the weekend as frigid temperatures set in
Carson City and Friends in Service Helping, also known as FISH, will offer a warming shelter Friday through Sunday in anticipation of freezing temperatures expected through the weekend.
The emergency warming shelter at Fuji Park will be open Friday through Sunday nights from 6:30 p.m. to 7 a.m. The shelter may be open longer based on overnight low temperatures, which could be 15 degrees or below.
FISH will take people:
1) who are intoxicated, but do not have any alcohol or drugs in their possession;
2) who have pets that will be under their owners' supervision;
3) who have no shelter available to them;
4) who are not a danger to themselves or others. Volunteers will be proctoring the warming shelter.
FISH will have a shelter shuttle available to transport people from FISH on east Long Street to the warming shelter at 6 p.m. (people need to be at FISH by 5:45 p.m.), and then leaving from the warming shelter to FISH at 7 a.m.
