A Cold Night

Homeless men and women who remain on the street are at risk for a variety of conditions caused by exposure to the cold, including frostbite and hypothermia. Many of the chronic problems faced by the homeless, including inadequate clothing, malnutrition, and underlying infection, further increase the risk of developing and dying from hypothermia.
Which is why on the coldest nights of the year, the Mission’s “Cold Patrol” goes searching for those sleeping outside. “Cold Patrol” is a valuable part of the Nashville Rescue Mission’s ministry to reaching and rescuing hungry, homeless and cold people from extreme weather. When the temperature drops below 25 degrees, the Mission’s “Cold Patrol” team hits the streets warning the homeless of the dangers of staying out in the cold and inviting them into a place of warmth, safety, and security.
