As the chill settles into Sacramento County, a beacon of warmth shines at the Warren E. Thornton Youth Center. The county has opened a weather respite center to provide a safe haven for those in need, equipped to take in individuals starting today and running continuously until December 15th. The drive behind this initiative? A prolonged dip in temperatures that has many seeking a refuge from the damp, cold nights.
Located at 4000 Branch Center Road, the center not only welcomes adults aged 18 and older, but it also has a pet-friendly policy that’s sure to get tails wagging! With room for one pet per individual or two for couples, it understands that comfort extends beyond just humans. Guests can look forward to a warm meal, sleeping cots, and some light case management services. It’s like a cozy winter retreat—minus the ski slopes and hot cocoa bar.
Additionally, Sacramento Regional Transit is stepping up with free rides to the center, ensuring everyone has access to a warm place without worrying about the fare. So, don’t forget to call ahead to confirm capacity before you head out. After all, there’s no worse surprise than finding a full house at the inn during this frosty season. Who knew a chilly forecast could bring out so much community spirit?
