List of Warming Centers and Winter Shelters
Amy Fish
We are going to have some wet weather the next week or so. The mayor has opened up many more warming centers for the homeless. Please see the updated list on our website or dial 2-1-1 for the information. The newest to open is a location at Salvation Army at the bottom of the list that opened yesterday. It will only be open during periods of bad weather.
