It’s been one month since the Bethesda Center for the Homeless in Winston-Salem reopened its day shelter due to a lack of finances.

Local downtown business owners, concerned about the rise in homelessness in the city, raised enough money to keep the doors open through the end of the year, according to WFDD. BTW: There are around 235 unsheltered individuals in Winston-Salem.
