📰 News we're reading

• WARM still seeking host sites ahead of cold weather shelter season (whsv.com) — A local homeless ministry is still seeking churches and organizations to host cold-weather shelters, including overflow space when Staunton shelters hit capacity. With the season about six weeks away and only 16 of 18 host sites secured, leaders warn they may need to rent unbudgeted space if more Staunton-area partners and volunteers don’t step up.
