Warming centers in San Luis Obispo and Arroyo Grande will be open Tuesday night, organizers announced.
The warming center at 40 Prado in San Luis Obispo is open for check-ins from 7 to 9 p.m. on Tuesday. Guests will be given a rapid COVID-19 test before entry. Pets are allowed at the warming center. Service animals can stay inside, and non-service animals or unvaccinated pets can stay in kennels on site. Those who stay the night can expect a hot meal, a hot shower and a warm place to sleep.
The South County Warming Center, located at 800 W. Branch St. in Arroyo Grande, will be open Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights. Check-ins are open from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m., and guests will be provided with a hot meal and a dry place to sleep. The center says that pets are not allowed at the facility.
Warming centers are open when there is a 50% or greater chance of rain or when temperatures drop to 38 degrees or below.
Both shelters are in need of volunteers and ongoing donations, which include warm clothes and food supplies.
