It's a labor of love for Leslie Johnson.
"I just got a call from someone last week asking when we're gonna open, and he had said if it weren't for us, a handful of people would have not survived some of the winters that we've been open," she said.
The shelters offer more than just a warm place to sleep - there's a sense of community too.
"We just kinda hang out and talk, like I'm sure we'll watch the game tonight and we'll watch movies sometimes and just kinda relax until bedtime," Johnson said.
The shelter is open from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. The women's shelter is located at 756 E. Main Street and the men's is at 1000 W. Main Street. They could use more volunteers. You can find more information here.
Protecting vulnerable populations on the coldest nights is a priority for the Montgomery County Office of Public Health. Medical Director Dr. Rich Lorraine worries this particular cold snap is something some people weren't prepared for.
"Sometimes cold injury can sneak up on you. You may not realize how cold it is, and you may start experiencing a loss of feeling in your hands, and there may be a point when frostbite is starting already," Dr. Lorraine said.
His office is focused on getting information out to the public so people can stay weather aware.
HVAC technician Dominic D'Acciaro urges his customers to make sure their heaters are working properly ASAP. He says phones were ringing off the hook all weekend as people cranked on the heat for the first time in months.
"Most of the time it's a minor part that can turn into something major if you don't catch it soon enough," D'Acciaro said. "We want to make sure that a $140 service doesn't turn into a $1,000 bill."
