CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCBD)- Temperatures are dropping in the Lowcountry; and with hundreds of homeless Charlestonians facing the cold, shelters are asking for help from the community.

“Well, getting into the colder months, what helps us first and foremost is financial donations,” says Katie Smith from One80 Place.

“During the holidays, you can imagine being in a shelter-like situation when you could be in your own home so our focus is to get somebody housed as quickly as possible,” she says.
