The City of Hopkinsville along with the Salvation Army is launching a program to help provide a warm shelter for anyone in need when the temperature is expected to get dangerously below freezing.
Alisha Barton with the Salvation Army in Hopkinsville says the Extreme Weather Event shelter will be in place on nights when the temperature dips below 15 degrees.
