The Least Of These Ministry in Roanoke is providing warming buses for the homeless as temperatures drop this winter season. The buses will be available every night when the temperature drops to 40 degrees and below, offering a warm place to stay from 9 p.m. to 6:30 a.m. Founder Dawn Sandoval tells WDBJ it is important to provide shelter to prevent frostbite and amputations due to the cold. The ministry recently acquired a 34-passenger bus and received a donated 22-passenger bus to meet the growing need for warming and transportation services.
