A total of 20 beds will be available nightly for those in need. Hours of operation will be 4:30 p.m. – 7:30 a.m. seven days a week. Free dinner, breakfast and hygiene items will also be on hand. Beds will be available on a first-come, first-served basis beginning at 4:30 p.m. daily. The temporary service is scheduled to conclude March 15, 2024.
