From the City of Elk Grove |
The Elk Grove Overnight Warming Location (OWL) Cooperative will open a warming location at
Elk Grove United Methodist Church located at
8986 Elk Grove Boulevard beginning this Thursday, December 9 and operating nightly through
Tuesday, December 14.
This will be the first overnight warming location to open under the
new program announced last month by a service network that includes the
City of Elk Grove, Cosumnes Fire Department,
Elk Grove HART and volunteers from local churches and the Volunteers
in Police Service (VIPs). Organizers initiated the opening of the OWL
this week because projected temperatures will fall to or below a 34
degree RealFeel two days in a row, followed by
a 75-percent probability of rain over Sunday and Monday.
The OWL is open to adults 18 and older who lack shelter or adequate
home heating. Operating hours will be 6 p.m. to 8 a.m. each day. Pets
are not permitted. Face coverings will be required unless visitors are
eating or sleeping. Families with children
will be referred to a motel voucher program coordinated by EG HART.
