Lorain Opens Two More Warming Shelters Amid Bitter Cold
Lorain activated two emergency warming shelters as temperatures drop below zero with dangerous wind chills. Lorain High School at 2600 Ashland Ave and Faith Ministries Christian Center at 1306 Euclid Ave will host evacuees, with hundreds possible, through Thursday and possibly longer if schools are canceled. The effort involves the city, Lorain City School District, and Faith Ministries, with contributions from Wendy Caldwell of P2R Training and Resource Center and the American Red Cross delivering cots and supplies.
