A Place of Warmth at Zion will be open tonight as a warming shelter. During the Library’s regular operating hours, all locations also serve as warming and charging centers. 

A Place of Warmth is an overnight warming center located at Zion United Church of Christ at 51 W. Central Ave. in Delaware, at the corner of Franklin St & W. Central Ave. There are no fixed dates on which it operates. Instead, the chief coordinator monitors temperatures and alerts community partners when forecasts call for temperatures below 20° F. Notifying sandwich boards can be seen at Zion UCC, Andrews House, Delaware Branch Library, Delaware City Hall, and Delaware City Fire Department main station.

To always know if A Place of Warmth is activated for the night, look for the yellow and black sandwich boards in downtown Delaware or check the Delaware County Emergency Management Facebook page. 

For additional information, or questions regarding other sheltering needs or assistance, please direct call Helpline by dialing 2-1-1.
