(La Porte, IN) - The overnight shelter in La Porte is open again for the cold weather months.

 

Nest Community Shelter is in the old downtown train depot along Washington St. behind the La Porte County government complex.

 

Shelter Director Harry Holtkamp said anyone in need of help should not hesitate to come to the shelter, which is open seven days a week until April 15.

 

“We are here to make sure no one, no one stays on the streets,” he said.

 

The shelter is open daily from 5:30 p.m. to 7 a.m.

 

People staying overnight receive two meals and help at the Center Township Trustee’s Office in finding permanent shelter, employment and whatever else might be needed to help get them back on their feet.
