The centers will be available from 5 p.m. today through noon on Friday. Anyone who needs this assistance, or knows someone who does, should call the Green County Crisis Hotline at 888-552-6642; United Way 211; local police department; or the Green County Sheriff's Office at 608-328-9400.

These centers are meant as a place for people to come and warm up only; food and other amenities are not provided. They are not intended as overnight shelter.
