KILLEEN, Texas (KWTX) - The City of Killeen, in partnership with Friends in Crisis, will open a warming center as temperatures are expected to drop across the area.
Friends in Crisis will serve as a warming center on Sunday, Dec. 28, and Monday, Dec. 29, from 3 p.m. to 8 a.m. The warming center will be located at Friends in Crisis, 412 E. Sprott St., and will be open to all community members in need of a safe, warm place, including those without heat or experiencing power outages.
The city says their policy requires warming centers to open when temperatures or wind chill values are forecast to reach 32 degrees or lower.
City buildings will also be open during regular business hours on Monday for residents seeking warmth.
Available locations include City Hall, public libraries, the First National Bank Texas Recreation Center, police headquarters and other public facilities.
Visitors are expected to follow the City’s code of conduct while using these spaces.
Since daytime temperatures are expected to rise above freezing, wind chills may remain below freezing, making these locations a safe and accessible option.
