MINNEAPOLIS -- As arctic temperatures blow through Minnesota, officials in Minneapolis and St. Paul have activated a number of warming shelters to help the unsheltered and vulnerable stay out of the dangerous cold.

Here are some of the locations that are available as of Wednesday afternoon:

In Ramsey County, warming centers will open on Wednesday and remain open through the night on March 31. That is with the exception of St. Paul-Reformation Lutheran Church, which will open its doors as a warming space on Sunday.

All warming centers will be open from 9 p.m. to 7 a.m. daily.

Warming centers will provide seating, blankets, light snacks -- like coffee and cocoa -- and warming supplies, like gloves and mittens, when available.

There is also a free shuttle service that runs from 9 p.m. to 7 a.m. each day, to ensure transportation to and from warming centers.

Hennepin County suggests that anyone looking to utilize a warming center call ahead to make sure they're open.

Hennepin County also says that only some locations offer food and case management.

The county's warming centers are broken down between daytime and nighttime shelter options. Many of the daytime options include meals, housing assistance, internet access and showers, among other services and resources.

Here are other warming center locations around the Twin Cities. The operation hours and services provided at these locations is unknown.
