Frontline Response expands warming center services to two locations in DeKalb County

DECATUR, GA— In response to the ongoing cold weather and the urgent need for shelter, Frontline Response has announced the activation of its warming center services from Monday night, Jan. 6, through Monday, Jan. 15, on a 24-hour activation due to the expected cold temperatures in the metro area.

Services have expanded to include two warming center locations:

• Men’s Warming Center: 2585 Gresham Road, Atlanta– Open males only; however, a dedicated space  is available to support single fathers with children, who are welcome as well as community partners for alternate location to support all family dynamics.
• Women and Children’s Warming Center: 4000 Covington Highway, Decatur– A dedicated space for women and children, made possible through the partnership with Peace Baptist Church under the visionary leadership of the Rev. Tyrone Barnette.

“We are grateful to Peace Baptist Church for stepping forward to meet this critical need in our community,” said Frontline Response CEO Terry Trucker. “Their support ensures that women and children have a safe and warm space during this winter season.”
