With frigid temperatures expected for Wednesday and Thursday, Mayor Tom Dermody said the City of La Porte will be opening warming centers for those in need. “We have been fortunate so far to have a fairly mild winter,” Dermody said. “However, between this week’s snowfall and a significant drop in temperatures coming, it has become clear that we must provide spaces for people to get in out of the cold. We are grateful to our local community partners – The Pax Center, Salvation Army and Center Township Trustee Lisa Pierzakowski – for assisting us in this effort.”
The following locations will be open to the public as warming centers for this Wednesday, January 26 and Thursday, January 27, 2022:
