The Operation Sharing program out of Old St Paul's Anglican Church usually shelters about 11 to 15 people on the average winter night.
WOODSTOCK - The Inn of Oxford is getting ready for colder nights.
It's an overnight shelter out of the Old St Paul's Anglican Church Woodstock; formerly known as Inn Out of the Cold.
Coordinator Darryl Watson says lots of people take advantage of the Operation Sharing program during the winter months.
"As the weather is colder or warmer, the numbers are always fluctuating depending on it so it can always be an increase or less numbers. The average in the winter is usually between 11 and 15 every night but of course those numbers will increase or decrease depending on the weather and depending on circumstances as well for people."
The shelter is also pet friendly, but the owner is 100 percent responsible for their furry friend.
Anyone in need of a place to sleep can stop by the shelter at 7:30 p.m.
Watson says this program would not be possible without the community's support.
"This program would never run without the generosity of our community constantly donating. We're always thankful for the community helping with the donations that keep coming in because we would never be able to continue this program without donations and the volunteers of our communities."
Anyone interested in donating can contact Operating Sharing by calling 519-539-3361. They can also contact Old St Paul's Anglican Church by calling 519-537-3912.
