Cold Weather Shelter_NewsFlash

The Emergency Weather Shelter is located at the Veterans Hall (lower level), 415 North Pine Street in Nevada City. The shelter provides a warm, safe indoor space for community members who need protection from dangerous overnight weather. Participants can expect a warm place to sleep indoors with blankets, hot dinner and breakfast, and basic supplies to support health and safety. 

Sierra Roots extends a sincere thank you to our local restaurants for supporting our neighbors during this activation. We are grateful for the generous dinner support from Lola's in the National Hotel, Nevada City and Mountain Mike's Pizza in Nevada City during this shelter opening. 

Doors Open between 4:30 - 8 p.m. Dinner is served at 5:30 p.m.

Pets are welcome. Pets must remain with their owner, and stay on leash at all times.
