Salvation Army almost at capacity in Columbia and Jefferson City COLUMBIA, MO (KMIZ) Salvation Army shelter locations in Columbia and Jefferson City are becoming near capacity with bitterly cold temperatures. Lori Benson, Regional Director of Community Relations of the Midland Salvation Army, said there's been a significant increase in guests at the shelter since the low temperatures began. Benson said the shelters in both Columbia and Jefferson City are both near capacity, but her major concern is the Jefferson City location. She says the Salvation Army is the only overnight warming center offered in Jefferson City. "I know that Jefferson City has a few day shelters warming centers that individuals can go to stay warm, but at night the Salvation Army is the only overnight shelter in the Jefferson City area so when we get full it really does create problems and our shelter staff is calling around and trying to see can we put these individuals someplace to get them off the streets," said Benson.
