From Ohio-
A Xenia church is asking for volunteers in order to continue with its mission.
Christ Episcopal Church has offered a place for the homeless to stay for years, but had been strictly a cold weather emergency shelter, which only opened when temperatures dipped below 28 degrees. This winter, however, the church realized a greater need and decided to keep the shelter open every night November through March.
The church offers the only shelter for adults without children in Greene County. It houses 15 people per night on average, but each night, it needs one male and one female volunteer to spend the night and to keep an eye on things.
"The volunteers who have been (here) have been volunteering for months and they need a break," said Summer Watts, Senior Warden at Christ Episcopal.
