St. Matthew’s House opening emergency shelters due to approaching cold weather

St. Matthew’s House is opening a few emergency shelters to the public for four days this week, starting Tuesday night through Friday night.

This is due to the cold weather approaching Southwest Florida. According to The Weather Authority, a cold front is expected to arrive early Tuesday morning, with highs in the 60s. Wednesday morning, temperatures will be in the 30s and 40s around Southwest Florida. This trend will persist until Friday.

St. Matthew’s House always opens its Emergency shelters to the public when the low temperatures drop to 55 degrees or colder.

They are asking people to please check into one of their two shelters: the Campbell Lodge at 2001 Airport Road South, 34112 in Naples, or the Immokalee Friendship Lodge at 602 W Main Street, 34142 in Immokalee at 8 p.m. on any of those nights.

St. Matthew’s House will provide beds, pillows, blankets, snacks and coffee in a safe and secure environment for everyone. They said that there's plenty of space for anyone in need.

They are also asking for donations of blankets, pillows, coats, gloves and socks for guests staying at the shelters.

Guests will be required to take a breathalyzer test.
