With the Macon-Bibb County Emergency Management Authority, United to End Homelessness, an initiative of United Way of Central Georgia, is monitoring the forecasted weather. Due to the cold temperatures forecasted, we advise our unhoused neighbors to take advantage of the additional warming beds at Brookdale Resource Center and the Salvation Army. Routine shelter services will also be available at Brookdale Resource Center and the Salvation Army shelter. As the weather dips this holiday season, we encourage our housed neighbors to provide their time and resources to those organizations that provide supportive services.
Our unhoused neighbors are supported year-round by the Macon-Bibb County Coalition to End Homelessness, a network of essential providers. In Central Georgia, these organizations provide food, resources, medical care, and emergency shelter to our region's most vulnerable.
"This is what communal compassion looks like: faith communities, nonprofits and local government working together to shelter the most vulnerable. We are grateful to Salvation Army, Daybreak, Macon-Bibb EOC, Macon Rescue Mission, and Brookdale Resource Center, and so many other providers, for their dedication," says United to End Homelessness Executive Director, Rev. Dr. Jake Hall. “This holiday season, we appreciate the time and effort our essential service providers provide to those in need."
