As we move through fall, Montgomery’s Emergency Management Agency is getting ready for winter.
The center opens on cold nights for people who don’t have a warm place to stay, and this year, they’re expecting larger numbers than in years past.
“Every time we’re open, we provide dinner. It’s not just a cup of soup and Vienna sausages. Sometimes that’s what we have when donations are slim,” said EMA Director Christina Thornton.Besides dinner and breakfast, they provide a shower, clean clothing, and a place for people in need to rest their heads.“We don’t have the Salvation Army open right now to the capacity to be able to help people.
“In the future, we can go buy the meats or the fresh vegetables and fruits that we use to prepare their meals,” said Thornton. If you cannot make the donation drive, you can donate at any time. Thornton says volunteers are always welcome. They are most busy from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. when they are open.Not reading this story on the WSFA News App? Get news alerts FASTER and FREE in the
