With the terribly cold weather, we wanted to be sure you’re aware. West End Ministries has three opportunities to house women and they are as follows:
🚨—Leslie’s House is our transitional home open 365, 24/7.
🚨—The Winter Shelter is an extension of Leslie’s House and is open November 30-March 31.
🚨—Women housed in Leslie’s House and the Winter Shelter do not have to leave but can participate in Life Skills classes, counseling or case management.
❄️—The Women’s White Flag Shelter is activated during times of dangerous weather such as winter nights when it’s 35 degrees or below. Due to space constraints, those women can be admitted at 5:30pm and leave at 8am. We work with the ladies to transport them to a warming center, if they are willing.

—🚨HOW CAN YOU HELP?
🙏🏼••Pray.
🍗••Give at wemhp.org/give or SIGN UP TO BRING A MEAL (sign up link is on the webpage mentioned above, meal for 21 women).
👉••Want to provide PRACTICAL NEEDS? Coffee, coffee creamer, paper towels and toilet paper are always in need. Currently, easy breakfast items like oatmeal or grit packets are helpful too.

Many of us are likely peeking through the blinds to check on the weather today while many of our friends are living outside in it or sleeping in cars. Join us in praying for them to safely find shelter and warmth; pray for the shelters to have room and provisions; pray for first responders & city/utility workers safety and helpful resource assistance; pray for not only our area but also for western NC, California and all those in need. Prayer is our greatest resource.
