A homeless man who recently moved from Kansas City has been sleeping in an open field near Scheels Arena in Fargo, choosing the harsh winter conditions over shelter services. He told Valley News Live he feels safer outside, despite the extreme cold.

Her team regularly checks on outdoor homeless residents, offering assistance with housing, documentation, and basic needs. The Downtown Engagement Center is currently accepting winter clothing donations on weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
