DILLON - The American Red Cross of Montana has opened a shelter at Keltz Arena, E. Poindexter St. at the University of Montana-Western in Dillon, in response to blizzard-like conditions that have led to the closure of I-15 from both the Montana and Idaho sides of the border.
The pass will remain closed throughout the night, and several travelers are stranded in the area.
Red Cross shelters provide meals, a warm place to stay, information and access to other community resources. Everyone is welcome at a Red Cross shelter, and all services are free. The Red Cross does not discriminate based on nationality, race, religious beliefs, class, disability, political opinions, sexual orientation or gender identity. No reservations are required. Service animals are welcome.
