Cano spoke to the warming center and thanked everyone in the community that had helped both with time, donations and support. It had a successful first season. The last evening, they had opened, 67 people came in. That had been 67 people that didn’t freeze to death. They hope to continue the warming center in the future. It did help a lot of people, three people found jobs and two found permanent housing. “To us that was a win.” She expressed her thanks again to everyone that helped.
