Some Find Shelter from the Cold in Easton

As the temperatures turn cold and snow hits the ground the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship Church in Easton is providing some overnight shelter for a handful of people.

The Talbot Interfaith Shelter is providing a warm bed, a hot meal, hot shower and even a few puzzles from 5 pm to 7 am.

But Board member Jack Harrald told WBOC there is one problem : Space.

He said that because of the fire code and the fact that they do not have a sprinkler system the shelter can only take five people.

It’s a first-come, first served situation.

The Unitarian Universalist church will remain open until January 27th.

It will then move to the Third Haven Friends Meeting House in Easton on February 10th.
