The Battlefords Agency Tribal Chiefs and the United Way have provided funds for a temporary homeless shelter in the Battlefords.
But that funding runs out January 21st — so organizers are hoping someone else will donate money to keep it open well into spring.
The Battlefords Indian and Metis Friendship Centre is running the temporary homeless shelter in its building.
Executive director Jackie Kennedy says 80 people have used the shelter since it opened a few weeks ago.
Kennedy says that’s on track with the figures seen last year, when there were a total of 700 sleepovers during the entire winter.
