With cold weather added to COVID-19’s second wave, new warming center is a ‘lifesaver’
Updated Dec 28, 2020;
Winter is a tough season for those struggling with homelessness, and with COVID-19 continuing to rage and forcing changes to all aspects of daily life, organizations that aid those in need are pivoting on both fronts.
Two organizations in Trenton did this by collaborating on a new warming center, where people can, as the name says, warm up, but also seek the social services they need.
To Joseph Volk, though, it’s much more.
He called it a sanctuary, a place that, if not available to him and others, would lead to people dying.
