“We
are working in coordination with the local Greyhound Station to offer a safe,
warm place for anyone who is stranded and unable to return home due to the
inclement weather currently affecting many cities across the Southeast,” said
Joel Sullivan, Regional CEO.
The
shelter will open at 4:00 p.m. and will be located at:
Mount Nebo Missionary Baptist Church
2416 Clifton RoadNashville, TN 37209
The
shelter will offer meals, water, snacks, personal hygiene items, a cot and
blankets as well as an opportunity to take a hot shower after many weary hours
of travel in the frigid temperatures. All disaster assistance is free,
made possible by voluntary donations of time and money from people in our
community.
“The
core of Red Cross disaster relief is the assistance given to individuals and
families affected by disaster to enable them to resume their normal independent
lives,” said Sullivan. “It is our job to be there for people when they
need us, whether it is our neighbors here at home in Tennessee, or those who
are on the road and trying desperately to get back home after a disaster.”
