SUMMARY: The warming center at the multicounty community service agency in Meridian was a success, with an average of eight people staying each night during the recent winter conditions. Ronald Caller expressed his satisfaction with the warming center's success, which was open for three days during the initial cold snap. By staying open all day, they were able to help people stay out of the elements. Caller also expressed gratitude to the local police department, sheriff's department, American Red Cross, and other organizations for dropping off helpful items to support the warming center.

The warming center was a major success over the past 3 days due to the winter conditions we faced last week.
