The Coldest Nights Shelters in Murfreesboro will be open throughout the weekend for those needing to get in from the frosty temperatures.

Coldest Nights is a crisis shelter program for adults when cold temperatures make staying outdoors a threat to health and safety. It is provided as a collaborative effort of The Journey Home, First Baptist Church, St. Paul's Episcopal Church, Murfreesboro Rescue Mission, and the Murfreesboro Cold Patrol.

Volunteers provide a hot meal, fellowship and safe sleeping quarters for anyone that is staying outside in tents, vehicles, and the like.
