Thursday was another cold night with another Code Blue in Buffalo with warming shelters open in the city.

Lockport Cares is the only emergency homeless shelter people in need can go to in Lockport for a warm place to sleep.

Last year Lockport Cares took care of 274 homeless men, women and children. The need has increased about 63 percent over 4 years.
