Volunteers Needed
The forecast, as of Tuesday afternoon, includes below-freezing temperatures and multiple inches of snow beginning Thursday night. These conditions are expected to increase the need for volunteers at warming shelters.
“This has been a long stretch, and it may be even harder to cover some of those shifts with the snow coming in,” said Michelle Austin, Director of Clarksville Neighborhood and Community Services.
