The Salvation Army in Czechia operates year round, providing various services to those experiencing homelessness in the country. Since the colder temperatures have started this week, the organization is expecting an increase in demand from its clients, as director of social services at the Salvation Army Jitka Klánová explained to me.
“Even though this year has been considerably warmer than last season, we can see that our services are in high demand. For example, last month at our day centre in Prague, we had between 150 and 160 visitors every day. Now in November that the temperatures have dropped, we see that every day we provide services for 200 to 230 people, so the numbers are rising, and the temperatures have not even dropped below zero.”
