As winter approaches, the need for community support for local shelters has become increasingly urgent, particularly in Morehead, where Churches United is the sole provider of such services. During a recent government meeting, officials emphasized the importance of supporting this organization, highlighting that providing shelter is a fundamental human right.

The discussion underscored the ongoing struggles faced by Churches United, with calls for both community awareness and support to ensure its operations can continue through the winter months. Officials noted that collaboration between local law enforcement and Churches United is crucial, suggesting that police initiatives could further bolster the shelter's efforts.

Concerns were raised about the organization's funding and resources, with inquiries made regarding their financial status for the upcoming month. While it was reported that Churches United had sufficient resources to operate through the current month, the need for continued support remains critical as the winter season intensifies. The meeting concluded with a commitment to keep the dialogue open regarding the challenges faced by the shelter and the broader implications for community welfare.
