Warming Centers Available for Tinley Park Residents

Bring it, winter. Tinley Park is ready and waiting to help residents through a cold snap.

Tinley Park residents needing help and a warm place during winter's coming blast of bitter cold have nearby options.  A cold snap bringing with it wind chills of -15 to -25 degrees could endanger residents who haven't taken proper precaution, warns the National Weather Service. Tinley Park's Senior Center, 17355 S. 68th Court, will serve as a primary warming shelter, with a secondary location at the Tinley Park Police Department. Additional fire department staff will be available to address any cold-related emergencies, according to Pat Carr, Director of Tinley Park Emergency Management Agency and 911 Command Center. Residents with cold-related issues, or in need of the warming center should call 708-532-9111.    Want the latest in Tinley …
