GREEN BAY, Wis. (WFRV) – "As winter temperatures settle into Northeast Wisconsin, counties across the region are activating warming centers and emergency shelters to help protect residents from the cold.

"Local officials are urging anyone without #ReliableHeat, or anyone who may be vulnerable during #ExtremeWeather, to use the warming locations available in their communities. Many sites operate during regular business hours, while several overnight shelters expand capacity during the winter months.

Officials recommend calling ahead, as hours and availability may change based on staffing, weather conditions or demand.

Here is a county-by-county look at warming locations and shelters currently available across Northeast Wisconsin:

Staying warm: Overnight winter #WarmingCenters open in #Maine

There are several shelters that are open all winter long in Maine, in addition to ones that open when conditions get dangerous

by Adam Bartow, December 2, 2025

AUGUSTA, Maine — "Winter has arrived in Maine and that means snow and cold. It also means many people will be looking for places to stay warm.

There are several winter-long overnight warming shelters that are now open.

The new Alter L/A Emergency Warming Shelter opened on Monday on Horton Street in #LewistonME. That shelter, the first of its kind in #AndroscogginCounty, is open 24/7 for the winter.

In #AugustaME, the South Parish Congregational Church at 34 Bridge St. is open from 5 p.m. until 7 p.m. every day from Nov. 1 until April 30 for people to get warm.

There are two overnight warming shelters in #BangorME. The Mansion Church at 96 Center St. is open from 6 p.m. until 7 a.m. every day from Nov. 1 until March 31.

The Brick Church at 126 Union St. in Bangor is open from 6 p.m. until 7 a.m. from Nov. 15 until April 15. The door there locks at 9 p.m. and no one is allowed in after that. There is a community supper on weekdays between 4:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m.

Work is underway on a new warming center at the Somesville Union Meeting House at 1134 Main St. in #MountDesertME. It will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. as needed, but does not have overnight accommodations. The goal is for this shelter to be open starting Jan. 12, 2026."
