The frigid weather has North Texas nonprofits adapting to meet the needs of the homeless.
Some of the North Texas Food Bank’s partner food pantries, like Sharing Life Community Outreach, have provided earlier grocery distributions to its clients.
“Having our hub here in Mesquite, we serve a little bit under 100 other nonprofits who will pick up food from our location and distribute to about 35 ZIP codes in our area,” Maria Mills with Sharing Life said. “Unfortunately, with the weather, we called everybody that could come in today and get food while we're closed over the next couple of days.”
As the temperature drops, the focus for Sharing Life shifts to its Weather Activated Relief for Mesquite, or WARM, program. WARM helps the people that take shelter along the streets, in a tent or behind businesses.Sign up for NBC DFW newsletters“We're having to shift immediately to people who are outside in danger of freezing or dying because they don't have any protection,” Mills said.
