HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- Bitter cold temperatures have prompted the Huntington City Mission to fly their white flag this weekend.
The white flag lets homeless in the area know it is too cold to be out in the elements.
Whenever it gets under 40 degrees, the mission says they won't turn anyone away, even if they don't want to play by the mission's rules.
With single temperature digits, the City Mission is expecting a larger than normal crowd, so the Salvation Army on 3rd Avenue is helping with the overflow.

they say they cant and wont turn anyone down when it is this cold but i went in and they were very rude and told me they were full and acted like they could care less about me or my family i even have a job but it seems if i was a on drugs and was not trying to make it they would help all i needed was a little help and now i have no where to go and i dont know if i can keep my job and be homeless the city mission needs to get their stuff together and quit misleading people

I have to admit, I am a firm believer that the majority of homeless are that way because of decisions they have made in their lives. I do not believe that anyone should starve or freeze to death, but in order tor receive help, you should be clean and sober.
