GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (via WOOD TV 8) — Partnering with the city, Grand Rapids Public Schools is opening two overnight shelters for community members who are without power.
The shelters opened at Union High School (1800 Tremont Blvd. NW) and Ottawa Hills High School (2055 Rosewood Ave. SE) at 7 p.m. Food will be available.
