City of Monroe Opens Warming Stations
(Monroe, LA) – In response to the approaching cold weather forecasted for
the upcoming weekend, the City of Monroe has announced the opening of a
Warming Station at the Liller Marbles Community Center, located at 2950
Renwick Street.
The warming station will provide a refuge for locals in need and will be
operational from 11 AM on Sunday, January 14, 2024, until 11 AM on
Wednesday, January 17, coinciding with the expected rise in temperatures.
Equipped with cots and Meals Ready-to-Eat (MREs), the facility aims to offer
a safe space for individuals seeking shelter from the harsh weather
conditions. A limited supply of blankets will also be available.
It is important to note that the Warming Station is not equipped to
accommodate individuals with special medical needs. Visitors to the
facility are required to be ambulatory and able to care for themselves.
