The City of Alice Emergency Management has announced that they will be operating their warming center at the Alicia Salinas Public Library until Thursday, January 23.
The library is located at 401 E. Third Street, Alice, Texas 78332. All members of the public will be welcomed in and the library will have limited services available. Please note that no food or drinks are permitted in the library. The warming center will be open each day from 8 am until 8 pm.
Warming centers have grown in popularity in recent years. This can be attributed to the massive growth in unhoused people over the past couple of years. Without a place to live, many people suffer and die in these frigid temperatures, which are not very common in South Texas.
