In response to the extreme cold weather forecasted for the region, Project NOW's emergency overnight Lift NOW Center in Davenport, Iowa, will be open 24 hours on Sunday and Monday. Mary McNeil, the executive communications manager for Project NOW, announced this decision on Saturday, highlighting the urgency of providing shelter during such harsh conditions. The center, located at 418 19th Street, typically operates from 9 p.m. to 7 a.m., but will extend its hours due to temperatures expected to reach a high of just 5 degrees and an overnight low of minus 2 degrees on Sunday. Monday's forecast is similarly bleak, with a high of 10 degrees and a low of minus 7 degrees. The Lift NOW Center has 37 beds available for unhoused individuals and families and will continue to operate until April 15. In addition to providing shelter, Project NOW is partnering with Christian Care to offer meals and showers to those in need. This initiative underscores the community's commitment to supporting vulnerable populations during extreme weather events. [10eee957]
