Shelters To Keep Warm Amid Freezing Temperatures

Officials will continue to monitor weather conditions when deciding to extend or close the shelter.

As cold winter weather reaches dangerously freezing temperatures, there are shelters open for those seeking warmth.

In Marion, Grice’s Recreation Center on Gurley Street will be open through Tuesday. The city is providing cots for those staying, but people are asked to bring their own blankets, food, and water.

Pets are not allowed due to facility limitations. Officials will continue to monitor weather conditions when deciding to extend or close the shelter.

Marion Mayor, Ashley Brady, said the shelter is not only for those experiencing homelessness, it’s also open to families and individuals who may not have enough heat at home to stay warm.

There are shelters open in Myrtle Beach including the New Directions shelters. The Fresh Brewed Coffee House also assists those in need.
