CENTRAL FLORIDA — As cold air continues to push across Central Florida, some counties plan to open cold weather shelters on Monday and Tuesday night as temperatures are forecasted to drop below 40 degrees in some areas.

Brevard County

LifePointe Ministries in Titusville will open an inclement weather shelter at the Titusville Civic Center over the next few nights.

On Monday night, the shelter will open at 9 p.m. because of a previously scheduled event at the civic center. It will close at 9 a.m. Tuesday.

On Tuesday evening, the shelter at the civic center will reopen at 5 p.m. and then close again at 9 a.m. Wednesday morning.

Right now, the shelter is expected to reopen again at 5 p.m. Wednesday and close at 9 a.m. Thursday.

Dinner and breakfast will be served.

Pets are welcome at the shelter but must be crated in a separate building.

LifePointe is seeking volunteers and donations to help with the effort.

Volunteers can reach out on LifePointe's Facebook page. Tax-deductible donations are being accepted at LifePointe's website.

The Sheltering Tree will open its cold-weather shelter Monday and Tuesday night at the Rock Transformation Center for those who don’t have a warm and safe place to stay.

“Our cold snaps are hitting early this season — just barely out of hurricane season. We urge anyone without adequate housing or adequate heat to come to the cold-weather shelter,” said Health and Human Services Director Joseph Hegedus. “The Sheltering Tree and the Rock Transformation Center will provide cots and meals.”
