Men’s Warming Shelter seeks assistance after awning destroyed by storms

BEDFORD— The Men’s Warming Shelter is asking for donations to replace a damaged awning after heavy storms over the weekend.

The awning provided essential protection for people who regularly gather outside the shelter while waiting for the bus or for SPIN to open. It offered shade from the sun and shelter from the rain. The shelter stated that replacing the awning is an expense beyond its current budget.

Donations to help fund a new awning would support many people who rely on the shelter’s services. Those interested in contributing can contact the shelter at 812-797-2057 or send a message on Facebook.
