One Way Church Batavia has opened a pop-up emergency warming shelter to serve those in need during this recent snowstorm.
Dana Dunaway is the Outreach Pastor of One Way Church in Batavia, which is located at 4650 state Route 132 in Batavia.
Last year, during the frigid temperature days, she and Pastors Daryl Shaffer and Tarra Shaffer were concerned for some members of their congregation, knowing they were homeless. She said they prayed about it and were led to set up an emergency warming shelter at the church; she said God put it in their heart to do, so they followed through.
This is the second year of operation, and for this first round of freezing temperatures, the temporary emergency warming shelter opened Jan. 6 and will stay open until Jan. 11 at 11 a.m. The pop-up shelter will again reopen whenever there is another round of severe weather conditions.
