North Charleston, SC – Residents across the Charleston metro area have a new option for relief as temperatures fall sharply this week. Holy City Missions at Aldersgate Methodist Church is opening a warming center for those needing a safe indoor space Tuesday and Wednesday evenings.
According to Dorchester County Government, the center—located at 1444 Remount Road in North Charleston—will operate Dec. 2 and Dec. 3 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. The shelter is open to men, women, and children, though pets are not allowed.
County officials said the temporary center is part of a broader cold-weather response as forecasters warn of below-normal temperatures across the Lowcountry. The opening aims to support residents who may not have access to reliable heat during overnight hours.
Transportation is also available. According to county officials, CARTA Route 13 will provide free transport to and from the warming center, with pickups and drop-offs at Remount Road and Allison Avenue. Those with site-specific questions can contact Aldersgate Methodist Church directly at (843) 647-0320.
The county encouraged residents to share the information with neighbors, particularly those who may be vulnerable to the cold or without stable housing.
