Rapid City, S.D. (KELO) — With both a cold weather advisory and wind advisory in effect… area shelters are gearing up to help people stay warm.

When Rapid City temperatures start falling on Saturday night, people in need will have plenty of places to turn for help.

“We are ready. We have extra coffee, extra food on hand, and we are ready to put people on the floor on cots and mats for overflow. We’re working very very closely with Care Campus,” Cornerstone Mission Executive Director Lysa Allison said.

Wyotan Lutheran Church also plans to offer a shelter on wheels.

“With our warming bus, we got warm drinks and hand warmers and thick socks, powder. Just to make sure to check for hypothermia and frostbite and things like that. Just having them be prepared, making sure maybe they got some bread bags and some water proof bags to protect themselves,” Wyotan Lutheran Church Pastor Jonathan Old Horse said.

The church also has donated clothes on hand to help people keep warm.

“And it’s just letting the relatives know that cold weather is coming and make sure you’re prepared in cold weather clothes and the people that are coming out are coming out to help and not hinder. So we try to be really empathetic of the people that are out there.” Old Horse Said 

People will also be able to turn to the Cornerstone Mission 24 hours a day to warm up.

“During the really cold weather, we’ll be opening up as a warming center so people can just come and hang out, drink coffee, watch tv, play games, and visit. We’ll have coffee and snacks and of course, we’ll have the noon and evening meals,” Allison said.

Other agencies people can turn to in the coming days include the  Care Campus, Health & Human Services and Journey On.
