Major Sheppard says the cold nights are expected to continue and the shelter is gearing up to be open for a few more days.
Major Sheppard says they could use warm socks blankets and sleeping bags if anyone has some extra and would like to make a donation. The Salvation army is located on Alta Street in Grass Valley.
