2. The Salvation Army of McKinney has opened an overnight warming station to provide temporary shelter to local residents experiencing homelessness. Overnight guests are registered, fed a hot meal, and given a place to stay for the night, according to a Salvation Army informational handout. The Station opened in November at 600 Wilson Creek Parkway and is open between November and March when temperatures are below 36 degrees for more than two days in a row. (Community Impact Newspaper)
