With temperatures dropping, Winnebago and Boone County have released a list of warming centers to help keep the Stateline warm for the 2019-2020.
According to WTVO, warming centers will provide a safe and warm location during extreme cold temperatures. This is for residents who don’t have proper heading equipment and for those who need to turn down their thermostat to save energy costs.
Please make sure to check on your neighbors in extreme conditions.
To receive an updated list at anytime, text COLD to 51555.
