WARNER ROBINS, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – As colder weather approaches, the City of Warner Robins says there’s a need for an emergency shelter for the homeless due to The Table Church stepping back from its previous winter support efforts.
“We are actively seeking a new partner or location to help as an emergency shelter when temperatures drop below 32 degrees,” the city stated in a news release on Monday.
The city says it plans to launch a dedicated city shelter by spring 2024.
