Charles Oliver/Daily Citizen-News Diners eat lunch at tables set up behind Providence Ministries. The organization serves three meals a day, 365 days a year. But because of COVID-19, it no longer allows diners into its building, which hosts a men's shelter and drug and alcohol recovery programs. Winter hasn't officially started, but Dalton's Greater Works founder Robert Hill has already opened the organization's day center at 1001 S. Thornton Ave. as a warming center for the homeless one night. "It was the Monday a couple of weeks ago, when it got down low and we had some icing, and freezing rain," he said. "We opened up and brought in about 15 people."
