Fort Worth\u2019s Presbyterian Night Shelter is asking for the community\u2019s help after a fire destroyed the group\u2019s main storage shed and its contents over the Labor Day weekend.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese are items we had stored for the coming fall and winter months that our guests will need in the cooler weather<\/a>,\u201d the nonprofit organization said in a Facebook post.<\/p>\n

No one was injured in the fire, but the items lost totaled around $100,000<\/a>, according to KTVT-TV reporting.<\/p>\n
