The winter of 2024-25 set records by sheltering an average of 25 guests per night, opening 54 nights in a row, and over 100 nights total, and that spring organizers Mark Lanan and Johnson were spotlighted in the North Penn Advocates series for helping organizer volunteers, collect and distribute donations, and provide hot meals and a warm place to stay for dozens of those in need.In late September, organizers announced on the shelter’s Facebook page that they were preparing for the upcoming winter, with training sessions for volunteers scheduled in late October and early November, and in early October Lanan said he was stepping back from his leadership role due to personal reasons. Since then, training efforts have continued, and this week Code Blue nights have been declared from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. for each night running through early Sunday, Nov. 15.“Last year we were open 112 nights between November 1st and the middle of April. It took hundreds of hands, and we can use hundreds more,” according to Johnson.Anyone interested in volunteering or otherwise helping can contact Johnson at 267-243-6531 or [email protected] or follow “Code Blue Shelter – Lansdale, PA” on Facebook for more information.This article appears courtesy of a content share agreement between Fideri News Network and The Media News Group.
