Warming centers open in DFW 

As temperatures drop, cities across North Texas have announced the opening of several 24/7 warming centers.  

Grand Prairie has opened the Public Safety Building located at 1525 Arkansas Lane, which will remain operational until weather conditions improve. 

The center aims to provide a safe and warm environment for those in need. Residents planning to use the facility should note several guidelines: 

In addition to the Grand Prairie center, other shelters in the region are also open to accommodate those affected by the cold.  

The Christ Church shelter, located at 1752 E. Airport Freeway in Irving, offers extensive facilities, including restrooms, showers and meal services.  

However, this location has reached capacity, and those now seeking shelter are advised to go to the Dallas Inclement Weather Shelter at the Fair Park Grand Place Building. 

“Warming centers are more than an escape from the cold; they are a lifeline, a reminder that every life has value, and a testament to the power of compassion in the face of hardship,” Anthony Alexander, media officer for Irving Police Department, said.  

Additional warming centers operated by The Salvation Army include: 

The Salvation Army's Irving Corps Community Center is also extending support by distributing coffee, hot chocolate, warm meals and other supplies to those needing help.
