A SAFE space for those without a home to escape the winter chills will become available in Wangaratta from this evening.
Wang Night Shelter is opening three out of the seven nights, with the hope to open every night this winter with more volunteers.
Starting today, the shelter will offer a warm meal, a safe place to sleep and community connection on Mondays at the Wangaratta Wesleyan Methodist Church on Alpine Road, Thursdays at Zac’s Place on 1-3 Wills Street and Fridays at the Uniting Church on Reid Street.
As more volunteers are trained, the shelter team hopes to open the additional four nights from the second week of June - including, Tuesdays at The Salvation Army Wangaratta Corps on the corner of Greta Rd and Buchan Ave, Wednesdays at Victory Community Church on Ryan Ave and Saturdays and Sundays at Wangaratta Seventh-day Adventist Church on Phillipson St.
It's not too late to register for Volunteer Shelter Orientations at Zac's Place, to be held on Monday, 9 June from 7-9pm and Tuesdays 3 and 10 June, from 2-4pm.
To get involved or for more information, contact Wang Night Shelter via email at wangnightshelter@gmail.com or come along to a volunteer orientation session.
