The Charlotte CARE Center, previously known as the Charlotte County Homeless Coalition, has announced that it will open its doors as a cold weather shelter.
Located at 1476 Kenesaw St., in Port Charlotte, the center is gearing up to provide refuge from the potentially dangerous cold. Anyone looking for shelter should pre-register by calling 941-627-4313 and must arrive by 8 p.m. to secure their spot, according to a statement from the county's website.
