Helping our unsheltered neighbors in the cold weather
Cherriots provides transportation to AND from overnight warming shelters when it gets this cold. Riders simply need to tell the driver that they are headed to an overnight warming shelter and the ride is free. Cherriots will also provide a free ride from warming shelters in the mornings to a rider's destination.
Volunteers are needed to keep this vital service going, so visit salemwarming.weebly.com to learn how you can help in the Salem area, and polkwarming.weebly.com/get-involved.html in Polk County.
