With temps in Tampa Bay dipping into the 30’s again tonight, warming shelters will be open again tonight. Keep in mind many of these are adults only, and fill up quickly. The Homeless Leadership Alliance of Pinellas is also asking for volunteers. Here’s how to help.
But you can get a free ride to the shelters in Pinellas County thanks to PSTA. Just tell the driver you’re going to shelter. The Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority (PSTA) will also provide free bus rides to and from Cold Night Shelters both evenings from 5 p.m. through 7 a.m. the next day. Riders must tell PSTA drivers they are going to a Pinellas Cold Night Shelter when boarding to ride fare-free.
Our friends at Metropolitan Ministries will have a limited number of hotel vouchers available as well. Metropolitan These are also on first-come, first-served basis for families with minor children. You will have to pre-register calling (813) 209-1176. They phone lines will open Monday until 5 pm or until they are out of vouchers.
