Yellow City Community Outreach Opens Emergency Shelter
AMARILLO - During the bitterly cold temperatures, an Amarillo group is working to keep homeless people in our area safe.
Yellow City Community Outreach is providing emergency shelter at Southwest 2nd and Jefferson.
The organization's vice president, Kit Rudd, says he's working to keep people warm and fed as we experience the freezing rain.
An event he considers "life-saving."
Kit Rudd, the Yellow City Community Outreach founder says, "This is the kind of weather that kills. Freezing rain like this, you get a body wet and then it's freezing, hypothermia sets in just a matter of minutes. It's not hours, it's a matter of minutes. This is killing weather."
