12/22/2022 Open in Both Locations 12/22-23; Staying Open in Independence Through Christmas EveRead NowYou may have seen the Winter Storm Warning for our area. Please take extra caution when travelling this holiday season and refer people to the Polk County Warming Centers if they have no other place to go. A warming center will be open at both locations, Falls City and Independence, 12/22 and 12/23. Our Independence site will remain open through Saturday night, Christmas Eve, regardless of weather conditions (closing Christmas morning at 7 a.m.).
We have had some questions about the need to pre-register in order to stay at the Warming Center. While this isn't necessary, it can be helpful to call ahead if you have any questions or may be arriving after the intake time of 7-9 p.m. This helps our hosts to know how to arrange bedding and prepare food as needed. Merry Christmas!
