Chandler-Newberger Center - 1028 Central St., Evanston, IL 60201
Fleetwood-Jourdain Center - 1655 Foster St., Evanston, IL 60201

The press release would also include the hours of the buildings for whichever days the advisory would be in effect (if the advisory is declared on a Friday, we may put Friday, Saturday, and Sunday's hours). Interfaith Evanston also runs an emergency shelter over the winter for the homeless population. The shelter begins from December 1st to spring (usually late March) whenever the temperature goes below 20F.
