'I was shivering so bad, my stomach and my back were all tightened up and cracking, and I could hardly walk the whole next day,' says one man who is grateful for the shelter, but wishes they were opened earlier.
The Bay Area was blanketed with hail, snow and rain Tuesday evening as a chilly winter storm moved through the region.
While there aren't beds here, there are heaters outside, and there is transportation available to take individuals to the city shelter that has additional beds. "We're going to have patio heaters, warm clothing giveaways, we're going to have warm food, drinks, all of those things for people. Just trying to help them get through the next few nights," says Jennielynn Holmes of Catholic Charities."Personally I think it should have opened three days ago when it started getting cold three days ago.
"But it was just too cold outside and I prayed from my heart to the universe or God or whatever, and I thought about my relatives and things, and about changing my path and then all of a sudden this opportunity came up, really a blessing," says Burton.The Arlene Francis Center at 99 W. Sixth Street in Santa Rosa will be open Tuesday and Wednesday night, possibly Thursday night.
