In response to the scorching summer temperatures, MUST Ministries is opening its Hope House as a cooling center from August 1, to August 6, offering refuge from the heat. According to a recent post on the Cobb County government's website, the center at 1297 Bells Ferry Road, Marietta, GA, will operate between the hours of 12 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Visitors to the shelter can expect to quickly receive both lunch and dinner before they depart.
Transportation to this cooling oasis is made simpler with the provision of bus vouchers. These can be obtained at HOPE Family Resource Center and Family Life Restoration Center in Mableton, GA. The exact addresses and hours for voucher distribution are detailed on Cobb County's official update.
Switching gears to the colder months, MUST Ministries and Cobb County collaborate to offer winter warming shelter services for the community's most vulnerable, including men, women, and children. To utilize these services, individuals are advised to be present at the Hope House Shelter by 8:00 p.m. each night. The shelter normally opens when the temperature is expected to harshly drop below 35 degrees.
Complementary transportation for these individuals is also arranged, with pickups from Reflections of Trinity in Powder Springs, GA at designated times. On days when the winter shelter opens, bus vouchers are similarly made available at the Mableton locations listed above, from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. For further details on the shelter programs and the practicalities entwined with them, refer to the information shared by the Cobb County communications on their website.
