Late last week Larry Rice said his downtown emergency emergency shelter, the New Life Evangelistic Center will close today:
Rev. Larry Rice said he will comply with a judge’s order and close his downtown shelter.
The New Life Evangelistic Center (NLEC) will be ceasing operations on 5:00 p.m. Sunday. A judge refused Rice’s request to keep the shelter on open Thursday. (Post-Dispatch)
Rice said he hopes the closure is temporary. Today’s poll assumes the closure is permanent:
NLEC will close at 5pm, this poll closes at 8pm.
