The Yonkers YWCA is preparing to shelter up to 100 residents who need a safe place to stay out of the looming snowstorm approaching the Northeast.

Staff and volunteers are stocking up on essential supplies, including water, flashlights, salt, shovels and snow removal equipment to ensure the facility remains safe and operational. Extra beds and meals are also being prepared to accommodate an increase in people seeking shelter.

“We’re ready,” said Yonkers YWCA Superintendent Thomas Dyer.

The YWCA shelter, located at 87 South Street in Yonkers, will be open all night Saturday and will continue operating through Sunday and Monday to support community members in need.
