Keep Warm in Calvert County

The northeast has been hit hard over the last few days, with temperatures dipping into the single digit territory overnight. Even during the daytime, Calvert County temperatures have been below freezing. For some residents, that means they are coming home to an icebox after work. If your home doesn't have working heat and you need a place to keep warm in Calvert County, there are places you can go.

Project ECHO operates out of Prince Frederick (484 Main St). They provide residents with a safe, warm place when temperatures become unbearable at home. They also offer an emergency warming center overnight in times of particularly harsh weather. To find out whether they are open tonight, call (410) 535-0044.
