BOWLING GREEN, Ky.- With the dropping temperatures and icy storms, homeless shelters are scrambling to accommodate the rising number of people seeking a sanctuary.
“We had a man call us yesterday who said he’s been sleeping in his car for two months. which is acceptable if you can deal with it. But he said he’s just getting too cold,” said Salvation Army Corps Officer Major Richard Watts.
The Salvation Army in downtown Bowling Green sees a steady stream of people during winter but this year it’s complicated to accommodate all of them with COVID-19 restrictions.
