The Gulfport shelter is located at 2019 22nd St. Gulfport, MS. The Pascagoula shelter is located at 3217 Nathan Hale Ave, Pascagoula, MS.
The Salvation Army provides shelter to anyone in need when it is 40 degrees if precipitation is present, or 35 degrees and below without precipitation. They take the low wind chill factor into consideration.
Prepackaged meals will be served for dinner and breakfast. Food will be served bedside to discourage group gatherings. All of CDC guidelines must be followed including wearing masks and social distancing. Beds will be positioned 6 ft apart from each other to follow these guidelines. Guests will need to fill out a survey about their health and provide a photo ID before entering. Space is limited and is provided on a first come first served basis. The Pascagoula shelter will close if no one has arrived by 7:00 pm.
