The San Mateo County Severe Weather Program will remain active through mid-April 2025 to assist community members during severe weather conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n

The program expands shelter capacity to 75 beds at the San Mateo County Event Center, providing a warm space for families and individuals in need.<\/span><\/p>\n

While city facilities are not designated shelters, they do offer safe spaces to stay warm during regular business hours, so visitors are encouraged to <\/span>Check the schedule<\/span><\/a> facility care and use these spaces to stay warm.<\/span><\/p>\n

Colder weather brings unique challenges, particularly for those without stable housing, so access to hot meals, clothing and other essential resources provides much-needed support during the winter months.<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>Fair Oaks Community Center<\/span><\/a> remains an important resource during this time, offering services, shelter referrals, and the Homeless Outreach Service.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For those looking for meals, grab-and-go lunches are available every Sunday from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Additionally, fresh produce is available through the organization. <\/span>Second Harvest of Silicon Valley<\/span><\/a>, with distributions scheduled for December 13 and January 10.<\/span><\/p>\n

The city also collaborates with local non-profit organizations such as <\/span>St. Anthony's Padua Dining Room<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Catholic Worker House<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Street Life Ministries<\/span><\/a> They provide warm, nutritious meals and distribute items such as winter clothing, jackets, shoes and sleeping bags to help community members prepare for the colder weather.<\/span><\/p>\n

San Antonio's Padua Soup Kitchen also brings the community together during the holidays by offering festive meals, including a special Christmas dinner on December 25.<\/span><\/p>\n

Winter can be difficult for many people, so the City Council recommended that people contact the <\/span>Mental Health Association of San Mateo County<\/span><\/a> to get help if needed.<\/span><\/p>\n
