They give people a warm meal and warm clothes, a priceless service for those in dire need of help.

Santora said, "I talk to them every night. I'm here five nights a week, six nights a week, so and most of them are pretty nice people they just wanna talk sit down and have coffee."

People looking for refuge from the bone-chilling temperatures can stay in a warm bed at the City Mission.
