St. Matthew's House to open emergency shelters ahead of cold weather

St. Matthew’s House is opening its emergency shelters for seven days starting Wednesday due to cold weather in Southwest Florida.

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

The shelters are located at Campbell Lodge, 2001 Airport Road South, Naples, and Immokalee Friendship Lodge, 602 West Main Street, Immokalee. People can check in at 8 p.m. on any of those nights.

There is plenty of space available, and St. Matthew’s House will provide beds, pillows, blankets, snacks, and coffee in a safe and secure environment.

Guests will be required to take a breathalyzer test.

St. Matthew’s House is also asking for donations of blankets, pillows, coats, gloves, and socks for guests staying at the shelters.
