The large and spread-out City of Mobile is coordinating five warming centers through the Waterfront Rescue Mission.
From now through the weekend, they are helping to coordinate shelters for those in need.
If you or someone you know needs a warming shelter during the cold, please call (251) 433-1847 or (251) 442-6018 for more information. Buses from the City transit company, the WAVE, will also be waiving fees on fixed routes for those who need transportation to local shelters.
