Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, 611 Randolph St., serves as Oak Park’s primary warming center when outdoor temperatures drop below 20 degrees and/or extreme snow and ice shut down public facilities or transportation for an expected period of four hours or more. All three branches of the Oak Park Public Library also serve as warming centers during regular business hours. Visit www.oppl.org for hours and locations. Find tips for staying safe in cold weather on the Village website at www.oak-park.us/coldweathersafety.
Volunteers needed...The Village is seeking volunteers to help manage Oak Park’s warming center, which typically operates during overnight hours when temperatures are their coldest. Volunteers are asked to commit to a minimum four-hour shift and complete training on administering Narcan, a medication that stops an opioid overdose. Volunteers of all backgrounds are welcome, but in particular the Village is seeking individuals with experience in medical services, social services or related fields or prior experience assisting at shelters for the unhoused. Anyone interested in volunteering is encouraged to contact Lee Christenson, the Village’s Emergency Preparedness Coordinator, at lchristenson@oak-park.us.
