Due to the colder temperature in Florida, St. Matthew’s House has opened its emergency shelters for those who need a reprieve from the chilly weather.

St. Matthew’s House has opened two emergency locations for people without shelter from the cold.

On Saturday, the Campbell Lodge, located at 2001 Airport Road South in Naples, and the Immokalee Friendship Lodge, located at 602 West Main Street in Immokalee, opened its doors to those needing shelter.

The charity organization will provide beds, pillows, blankets, snacks, and coffee for those who choose to shelter at either of the two locations.

The shelters will be open until Friday.
