LITTLE ROCK, Arkansas — The cold can be hard for some, especially those without homes or a warm place to stay.
The Compassion Center has opened its doors to anyone needing a warm place to stay no matter what time of the day.
Around 100 people can stay there at a time. The Compassion Center has opened up its dining room and TV lounge area to keep people fed and occupied during the day, but COVID-19 has created some changes for the facility.
