CENTRAL, Texas — Scroll below for complete list.
The winter storm are expected to bring record temperatures to the Central Texas region. Warming Centers are being placed around the region to help those in need of a warm place to stay and more.
We called a few places so that you wouldn't have to especially during a time of crisis.
Major Jim Taylor of The Salvation Army of Bell County’s McLane Center of Hope is part of those shelters that will be open during the winter storm. "We are more than happy to accommodate anyone that needs a place to stay," he said.
Taylor says the Salvation McLane warming center will stay open. As long as temperatures stay low, people will have a place to go.
Many other warming centers share the same sentiment and will be open during the storm.
