Warming centers open

The Town of Hempstead has opened 16 warming centers now through Friday, Jan. 22.

“I invite neighbors who don’t have enough heat to seek shelter at one of the town’s 16 warming centers,” stated Town Supervisor Anthony Santino. “Freezing temperatures can be dangerous for everyone, especially seniors, who may have a hard time regulating their body temperature and staying warm….
