Clarksville, TN – The National Weather Service (NWS) is expecting early snowfall Thursday, January 6th, 2022, continuing throughout the day and into the evening.
With the cold weather forecasts for the Clarksville area, the Clarksville Neighborhood and Community Services are monitoring the situation and coordinating with United Way of the Greater Clarksville Region for emergency shelter resources for homeless people in need.
The Salvation Army emergency shelter, 210 Kraft Street, has six slots for men and six slots for women available; to include women with children. During the stay, men and women will be housed separately. Check-in starts at 5:00pm, and beds will be reserved on a first-come, first-served basis. Warm meals will also be available.
Manna Café Ministries, 650 Providence Boulevard, will have The Warming Shelter open all week from 4:00pm to noon the following day, each day. There is limited staff and core members, so volunteers are needed, especially from 4:00pm-10:00pm. For more information, call 931.933.0907.
