The Estevan Warm Welcome Shelter has had enormous support since it was started up in 2012.

However, life happens, and circumstances have forced their board to make a difficult decision.

"The Warm Welcome Shelter will be closed as of February 15th, 2017," said Hospitality Director Collen Jensen.

"The need for our services is not as great this year, and so we will not continue to be open."

She expressed that they are grateful for the support that they have received.

"We could not have offered this service to the community without the many volunteers, whose commitment to the shelter is so important."

Jensen added that they are thankful to everyone for their donations.

"We will work together as a board to continue to provide service in the future," she concluded.
