This Christmas our area received an unwanted gift in the form of a once-in-a-generation blizzard. Warming shelters across the county opened their doors. We have compiled a list to help those who are still in need. In addition to these warming centers, the county has a non-emergency line, 858-SNOW (7669), which would include requests for transport to dialysis – and requests for information.
