In Durham, North Carolina, a new Emergency Shelter for families offers respite from the cold for the unhoused population. Highlighting the efforts of two dedicated workers, Tawana and Parteshia, the City of Durham's Government praised their indispensable roles. According to a recent social media post by the City of Durham, NC Government, these individuals are not only providing a tour of the facilities but also informing community members of available services during harsh weather conditions.
With temperatures plummeting, the importance of such establishments becomes ever more apparent. Walking through the shelter, Tawana and Parteshia share details about the support systems in place. Individuals seeking shelter or interested in contributing can reach out to Entry Point Durham by calling 984-287-8313, or they can find further information by visiting durhamnc.gov/WinterShelter or linktr.ee/durhamcommunitysafety.
