Welcoming People Inn and Out of the Cold

Saturday, 30 December 2017 at 07:13

Those without a warm place to sleep tonight can head to Old St Paul's Anglican Church in Woodstock for the Inn and Out of the Cold overnight shelter.

With the freezing weather upon us, more people have been taking advantage of Inn and Out of the Cold.

The shelter is offered out of Old St Paul's Anglican Church in Woodstock (721 Dundas Street) between 7:30pm and 7:30am.

Coordinator Darryl Watson says it's for people who don't have a warm place to stay overnight.

"It provides a warm place to sleep and a hot meal for everyone. Anyone who needs it in Oxford County above the age of 18 are welcome to come and use Inn and Out of the Cold."

Watson adds it is a pet friendly environment.

"Sometimes the animals are the only friends or family that a lot of people have so we don't turn them away. They're allowed to bring their cats or dogs but they may need to be caged or controlled."

The Operation Sharing program provided shelter to a total of 58 people and 4 dogs last winter.
