MUST Ministries opens warming shelters in Cobb

MUST Ministries again opens their warming shelters in Marietta when predicted low temperatures are colder than 35 degrees.

The shelters are at:

• Elizabeth Inn (for women and children): 55 Elizabeth Church Road, Marietta
• The Extension (for men): 1507 Church St. Extension NE, Marietta

A MUST Ministries statement said, “Our warming shelter does not turn anyone away - after 5 p.m. or at any other time. We make sure they are welcomed in out of the elements and shown hospitality by providing warm hearts, warm coffee/drinks and food as well as shelter.

“We partner with The Extension to provide shelter to men overnight during cold weather. This is for security,” the statement added.

“We turn no one away - regardless of when they arrive - and work to accommodate everyone so that no one is ever out in the cold. For anyone arriving ahead of the 8 p.m. opening, we invite them to have dinner at our Loaves and Fishes kitchen (at Elizabeth Inn) and wait inside to stay warm until the kitchen closes. The kitchen is converted into the overnight warming shelter after dinner is served.”
