Friends in Service Helping, also known as FISH, in cooperation with Carson City will offer a warming shelter in anticipation of the freezing temperatures projected for Thursday night.
The Emergency Warming Shelter at Fuji Park will be open Thursday night, Feb. 23, from 6:30 p.m. to 7 a.m. A shelter may be open in another location for other nights based on the over-night low temperatures, 15 degrees or below. The National Weather Service in Reno has the overnight low in Carson City to be around 13 for Thursday night and Friday morning.
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 owner’s supervision; 3) who have no shelter available to them; 4) who are not a danger to themselves or others. FISH will have volunteers who will be proctoring the Warming Shelter.
FISH will have its Shelter Shuttle available to take people from FISH to the Warming Shelter beginning at 6 p.m. Those who seek transportation should be at FISH by 5:45p.m. with the shuttle leaving around 6 p.m. and then leaving from the Warming Shelter to FISH at 7 a.m.
