Bracing for sub-freezing temperatures and this week’s snow storm, The Haven of Portage County opened up a warming center in Ravenna last week for those without access to housing and heat, but only a handful of people have come in from the cold so far.
The center has been providing heated shelter and warm meals from 5 p.m. to 8 a.m. nearly every day since Feb. 8 at the Immaculate Conception Parish Hall on Spruce Street in Ravenna. It has so far served approximately 10 people total, with some coming in repeatedly, and will remain open through this Friday.
