The Overnight Warming Locations (OWLs) in Alton, Edwardsville, and Granite City provide sanctuary for our unhoused neighbors on the coldest nights of the year.

Thank you, Granite City Midwest Members Credit Union!

OWL was chosen as the recipient of their Credit Union Kindness Day, and the team used their designated funds to purchase supplies from our Granite City OWL wishlist. Gifts like this help us open our doors with everything our guests need.

Thank you to everyone at Midwest Members Credit Union Granite City branch for caring for our community.

🦉 We have a website! 🧱

Until now, you could learn about OWL on our Linktree and right here on Facebook. Now we've got a home of our own: OWL has its own page on the new Brick Town CDC website.

Come take a look, learn how OWL keeps neighbors warm on the coldest nights, and see how you can be part of the movement.
