JACKSON, Tenn. A temporary warming shelter for men is coming to the Hub City.
The City of Jackson is teaming up with local nonprofits to provide a warming center for the homeless this winter.
“It will be a nighttime warming shelter for our homeless population here in Jackson, so they’ll have an opportunity between 6 p.m. and 8 a.m. to check in and have a warm place to stay,” said Jackson Mayor Scott Conger.
The temporary shelter will be located at the Carl Perkins Civic Center downtown, where people can get a meal and additional support through local agencies.
