With a winter storm bearing down on Georgia, Hall County is offering its community centers as warming stations. This week, the county posted a notice on social media reminding the public that the county’s three community centers are available for them to escape the cold.
“All of our citizens deserve a safe place to keep warm during the inclement weather, and there are several community centers throughout the County that can serve as that place,” Hall County Assistant Administrator Casey Ramsey said. “While these facilities will only be open during normal business hours, our staff are prepared to assist citizens with finding additional resources should they need them.”
Community Center locations and phone numbers
All Hall County community centers are open from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays. Center locations and phone numbers are listed below:
- East Hall Community Center: 3911 P Davidson Road, Gainesville, GA 30507
