Salvation Army spokeswoman Kimberly George said the agency’s cold-weather shelter at 800 McCallie Ave. will open at 7 p.m. as overnight temperatures are expected to dip below freezing.

The National Weather Service forecast calls for a low of 31 degrees overnight, warming into the low 60s on Sunday.

George said the Salvation Army doesn’t budget for overnight shelter and welcomes donations of food, supplies, clothing and money from the community.
