With the cold coming a lot of local groups and businesses are all coming together to make sure that no human gets left out in this cold. It's truly incredible just how many people are opening up their spaces for strangers to stay warm. We received a message from a listener and wanted to share a warming center they're opening as well as the donations they need. Shaneka wrote us and said -
