Free Warming Stations
-
A warming station is a short term emergency shelter that operates when temperatures become dangerously low. Often they are set up to help local residents find a warm place to stay during the day or overnight if electricity is out. These are safe places for entire families and are usually setup by the Red Cross, Salvation Army and Emergency Management officials.
