LAKEPORT, Calif. — The newly opened warming center in Lakeport is extending its hours during the snow event that has resulted in freezing temperatures and power outages to Lake County.
The warming center, run by Sunrise Special Services Foundation and funded by Lake County Behavioral Health Services, is located at 1111 Whalen Way in Lakeport in the county’s former juvenile hall facility which during the pandemic also has been used as a shelter for homeless individuals.
The center currently is providing shelter to those individuals experiencing homelessness to get out of the cold, have a warm place to sleep and get meals.
While its normal operating hours are 4 p.m. to 8 a.m. daily, during this unprecedented weather event, the center will run around the clock, seven days a week.
For more information, please contact the warming center directly at 707-349-5022.
