Dear Editor,

Have you tried sleeping outside in this cold weather? Many homeless people do.

The Turlock Gospel Mission is building accommodations for approximately 40, while the We Care has 40. There must be at least 135 to 150 homeless people in Turlock. It is time the City Council build some shelters. It would save both money and lives.

The spirit of Christmas ought to be extended to the homeless.
