NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — For those in the unhoused community, Nashville will open its shelters Monday night for a warm place to go.
The shelter will open from 7 p.m. until 7 a.m. at 3230 Brick Church Pike.
Couples and pets are welcome. Pets must be crated.
Those needing to get out of the cold are asked to first seek shelter at the Nashville Rescue Mission and Room In The Inn.
For shelter alerts, text the word NashvilleWinter to 84483 to get text alerts every time Metro opens the Extreme Cold Weather Overflow Shelter.
You can also visit Nashville.gov/Homeless where the alert bar will notify you of the shelter opening.
Young or old, we all love to play board and card games! Those games become even more important when you are indoors and don't have the ability to get outside, like patients in a hospital. Austin Pollack shares the story of students in a Nashville family who have helped re-launch the Red Wagon project to collect games for patients at the Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt.
