Forgotten Ministries will be working alongside the Enid Salvation Army to provide shelter for men this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Due to the extreme winter temperatures, they want to be available for overflow space in case the Salvation Army is full. Right now, they still have 15 beds available. Since they only have space to accommodate men, they will make sure to make extra room for any women who are in need of shelter. They opened Friday night and will remain open all day Saturday and Sunday. Then, they will close Monday morning. Meals, showers, a bed, and a pair of sleep clothes will be available for the men who are in need of their shelter this weekend. 1714 S 4th St. Shelter open for men only.
