OurCalling is making sure the homeless population in Dallas will have a warm place to stay during this winter storm, which may include the newly opened Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center, hotels, or shelters.

With the assistance of even some Dallas police officers, homeless people are being brought off the streets to one of these warming shelters. Rick Schrage is homeless, and slept outside Saturday night. He said, "I actually have a mattress and like three or four blankets and I was fairly warm. I woke up pleasant [Sunday] morning, but as soon as I grabbed myself from the blankets, I instantly got cold." Thankfully, he's now sleeping in a shelter to stay warm.
