Warming Centers Winter 2026 (Omaha Metro)

Date: 01/06/26

The most immediate danger from living unsheltered is hypothermia. The average low temperatures in Douglas, Sarpy, and Pottawattamie counties from December to February range from 15-19 degrees.

To prevent exposure to dangerous conditions and loss of life, several of our community partners host warming centers across the metro area during our region’s coldest months. Each facility has its own requirements, services, and daily capacities so we recommend staying tuned to each organization’s social media channels for information and updates.
