As cold weather hits DeKalb County this weekend, local authorities are taking action to protect residents. Four warming centers will open today and tomorrow, starting at 8 p.m., providing a refuge from the cold.
According to a news release from DeKalb County, the centers, including Frontline Response International on Gresham Road in Atlanta, will serve individuals without access to a heated home. Transportation will be available to transport people to Frontline Response International, where they can also receive hot meals and case management services. Pickup points for transportation include local community centers, fire stations, and parking lots across the county.
These warming centers are essential for protecting vulnerable individuals from the cold. Those in need of more long-term housing assistance are advised to contact DeKalb County Coordinated Entry or visit the DeKalb County official website for further help.
Information about the warming centers is available on the DeKalb County website.
