Salvation Army's day shelter operates from 9 a.m.-3:30 p.m. with white flag check-ins from 6-10 p.m. depending on availability.
Calls can be made to the Coordinated Shelter Access line at 502-637-2337 from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. to make reservations for a bed, although they aren't required. Thirty beds are available for men and 10 for women during white flag operations.
Wayside Christian Mission
432 E. Jefferson St.
Wayside Christian Mission will shelter men, women and families during white flag conditions with check-in beginning when the white flag is called for the day. No reservations are needed and space is available on a first-come, first-served basis with a capacity of around 200.
