CANTON, Ohio — Canton is consolidating its warming center operations this week to one location rather than two.

What You Need To Know

  • The city is closing its St. Paul AME warming center and moving all shelter operations to Dueber Elementary

  • The shelter will operate from Jan. 29 to Feb. 28

  • Transportation will be provided to the warming center by SARTA

The city is closing its St. Paul AME warming center and moving all shelter operations to Dueber Elementary at 815 Dueber Ave SW, 44706.

“We are grateful to Pastor McCants and the congregation of St Paul AME for opening their doors to those in need,” said Canton Mayor William V. Sherer II. “We are simply seeing a need greater than the church can currently hold, and it best to move operations to where we can best accommodate what we’re facing.”

The shelter will operate from Jan. 29 to Feb. 28. Hours will be from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m. Guests should use the north entrance and food and water will be available.

Transportation will be provided to the warming center by SARTA. Route #113 will take guests to the school; in order for bus fares to be waived, guests must tell drivers they are going to the warming shelter. 

If transportation is needed when SARTA is not available, call 330-649-5800.
