With colder weather on the way, Milwaukee County leaders have announced locations where people can stay warm this winter.

In addition to already existing services, several warming centers will be opening in the coming weeks.

A warming center is a short-term emergency shelter where people can go to stay warm when temperatures become dangerously low.

Here’s a list of warming centers that are open through March 31:

Milwaukee County’s Hillview, 1615 S. 22nd St.

Greater Galilee Baptist Church, 2432 N. Teutonia Ave.

Guest House of Milwaukee, 1216 N. 13th St.

St. Ben’s, 930 W. State St. (Available only if the temperature is 25 degrees that evening). The coordinated entry team is available in person on Fridays from 1:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Repairers of the Breach, 1335 W. Vliet St. You can find the coordinated entry team in person on Mondays and Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.

The Milwaukee Rescue Mission, 830 N. 19th St.

For more emergency or long-term resources, you can reach out to Milwaukee County’s coordinated entry team. Coordinated Entry is available 24/7 by dialing 2-1-1, texting your ZIP code to TXT-211 or online at 211 Wisconsin.

Check out the Wisconsin Department of Health Services or the Milwaukee Health Department for more tips on staying warm.
