Due to the extremely low temperatures in the forecast for Sunday and Monday nights next week, CrossRoads will reopen the warming center from 6 p.m. Sunday to 8 a.m. Tuesday. Please note that due to the federal holiday falling on Monday, CrossRoads is extending our warming center hours throughout the day on Monday. We will open on Sunday night and not close until Tuesday morning. This means that we need even more volunteers to assist with the warming center.
