MEMPHIS, Tenn. — As temperatures begin to drop across the Mid-South, cities throughout the region are opening warming center to keep people safe from the dangerous cold.

Here’s a list of warming center throughout the Mid-South:

  • Oxford Activity Center, in Oxford, Mississippi. The center will open Saturday, February 13th, at 9 p.m.

The third warming center won’t open at Frayser-Raleigh Senior Center. The city said unfortunately a pipe burst at Frayser-Raleigh Senior Center, so it will not be open at this time as a Warming Center. We will keep you updated when we have a new location.
