A temporary cold weather shelter that opened Wednesday night will be open again tonight, Thursday, at the Aberdeen Polish Club at 823 W. First St.

With low temperatures below 38 degrees predicted overnight by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the shelter will be open from 7 p.m. tonight until 8 a.m. Friday morning.

The shelter is staffed by volunteers, which are needed to continue the program. Aberdeen Mayor Erik Larson mentioned the need for volunteers at the city budget meeting Wednesday night saying that he’s been pulling late shifts at the shelter himself due to the need. People who would like to volunteer should contact Pastor Val Metropoulos at vmetropoulos001@luthersem.edu.

The Grays Harbor County Public Health and Social Services Department will update its website, healthygh.org/news, with notices when the shelter will be open.

“The shelter access is not contingent on sobriety, and participation in services of any kind is voluntary,” reads a release from Health and Social Services. “It will serve adults 18 and over, of all genders, as space and volunteer capacity allows. Shelter rules will be limited and focused on safety for guests and volunteers.”

The shelter also is in need of bottled water, nonperishable and soft foods, and other basic hygiene items. If you would like to donate, please do so at the shelter when it’s open or at the Coastal Community Action Program office at 101 E. Market St. in Aberdeen during business hours.
