Portsmouth and the Seacoast Area have people who are homeless and living outside. Winter in Portsmouth is cold.  Let's help people who are homeless get a break from cold and stormy weather by providing them with a 24 hour winter warming center in Portsmouth. 

Imagine if it were you, being out in cold weather, day after day, with no way to warm your body but to keep moving or to try and find enough blankets and maybe a tent to try to sleep. This wears down a person's body and soul!

Provide a 24 hour warming center all winter long and show that you care about those less fortunate as being as much deserving of a warm place to lay their heads as anyone! 

Petition Letter is as follows:

To The City Manager, Mayor of the City of Portsmouth, the City Council, and Portsmouth Fire Chief.
Help Keep People who are Homeless and living outside in the winter, warm with a 24 hour winter Warming Center!
The city should provide a warming center for people who are homeless and living outside in winter time. This warming center should be open all winter long, 24 hours a day. Protect people who are homeless from hypothermia, frostbite, and possibly death, which can happen even above 32 degrees F.

Sincerely,
Donna Westbrook
