With a Winter Storm Advisory issued by the National Weather Service for tonight through midday Tuesday and overnight temperatures into Monday expected to dip to 21 degrees in Uvalde. The Bread of Life Christian Fellowship located at 700 North High Street has opened its doors Sunday afternoon offering those without heating a warm place to sleep and food.

Pastor Gilbert Limones of Casa El Shaddai and his church’s congregation joined in the effort to assist the Bread of Life Church with its efforts to serve those in need in Uvalde.

Earlier this morning, Limones posted a Facebook Live Video asking the community for assistance with food donations, blankets, and other items as well as monetary donations to assist with the effort. Volunteers are also needed.

Limones said he has been in contact with Uvalde Mayor Hector R. Luevano and the churches are working with the City. Limones said if the Bread of Life facilities become full, the City of Uvalde has agreed to open the Civic Center to provide an additional warming location during these frigid days and nights.
