With a blast of cold air set to chill DeKalb County residents, a series of warming centers will open their doors tonight. Starting at 8 p.m., those seeking refuge from the frigid weather can find shelter at Frontline Response International, North DeKalb Senior/Community Center, Mason Mill Recreation Center, and Tobie Grant Recreation Center. The goal is clear: to provide a warm space for those in need during the plunging temperatures.
Transportation to Frontline Response International, where hot meals, beds, and crucial case management services are to be centrally available, will be offered based on a well-structured pick-up schedule. Individuals at multiple pickup points across the county can quickly catch a ride to the facility. DeKalb County's official announcement breaks down the times and locations, ensuring nobody is left out in the cold.
DeKalb’s warming centers show the county’s dedication to helping vulnerable residents during the cold. These centers offer a safe space until the weather improves. For housing assistance beyond temporary shelter, residents can contact DeKalb County Coordinated Entry at (404) 687-3500, as mentioned in the county's official statement.
