Welcome to the Town of Leeds

 Hello Neighbor:

Through the cooperative efforts of the Town and the Leeds Community Church, the church has

been designated as the town’s Emergency Shelter / Warming Center. The town’s EMA Director will

determine when the center will open: generally during times of prolonged power outages and cold

temperatures or when roads are impassable due to flooding or downed trees. The shelter will provide

residents with a place to get warm, take a shower, get water and have a warm meal. If needed,

overnight accommodations can also be set up within the church.

BUT WE NEED YOUR HELP! This will work ONLY if there are community volunteers to help man

the shelter when it is opened to prepare food, assure people are comfortable, and address any concerns

that may arise. We are now trying to develop a volunteer call list to be used only during times of a

declared opening. If you are interested in helping, please call the Town Office for more information.

Thanks for your consideration.
