County Executive Anthony J. Picente Jr. announced today that the Oneida County Office Building will again serve as an evening warming center to shelter residents from this week’s extreme cold.
Individuals utilizing the warming center will have access to restrooms, but no beds or bedding will be provided. The Oneida County Sheriff’s Office will be providing security. DFCS is coordinating this effort with the Rescue Mission of Utica, which operates its own 24/7 Drop-in/Warming Center on behalf of the county located at 1013 West Street in Utica.
The Morrow Warming Center located at 500 Plant Street in Utica is also available to residents from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. and the South Rome Senior Center located at 112 Ridge Street in Rome will serve as a warming center from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. on Friday and Saturday.
