Church gathers homeless to get them out of the cold | www.wsbtv.com

More than 100 people who need help staying warm as the temperatures plummet now have shelter thanks to a local church.

Leaders from two Cobb County churches went out in their buses Monday night and offered a place to stay to anyone on the street.

“If it’s below 25 for a certain amount of time, that’s important, that’s crucial. We need to get them off the street,” said Alan Newsome with Mt. Bethel United Methodist Church.
