The C.A.R.E. Center warming shelter at Asbury Church remains open on freezing nights, providing a safe space for those in need. The shelter operates from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m., but more volunteers are needed to help chaperone shifts. No experience is required, and orientation is provided. Organizers say nights are usually quiet, with up to 20 guests sleeping on cots. Volunteers offer a welcoming presence and assist as needed. Anyone willing to help, even for a few hours, is asked to contact the C.A.R.E. Center at (423) 620-9786.
