In Lower Merion, the Code Blue program is a winter emergency effort that opens temporary overnight shelters when temperatures drop to 32°F or below. Hosted by local churches and supported by volunteers, these warm, safe spaces provide protection and basic care for people experiencing homelessness during the coldest nights of the season.
