The temporary homeless shelter has closed for the season. Unfortunately, it is still cold, wet and sometimes snowing. That leaves at least a half-dozen men living in the streets in Plymouth, and a number of others that have set up tents in various spots near Plymouth center.
The second night after the shelters had closed, there was some significant wind and rain, which soaked the sleeping bags, blankets and personal belongings of the homeless men.
The men attempted to dry them by hanging them out in the small bus depot, however with the temperatures still in the high 30s, there wasn’t much hope.
Volunteers for PeopleCorp took the sleeping bags and blankets and dried them in their respective homes, then brought them back 3 hours later, in plastic bags, so they would stay dry for the rest of the day, until needed at night.
