As the temperatures begin to rise, we’ll be closing the warming station.

With warmer weather ahead, this is the perfect time for us to focus on deep cleaning, organizing, and restocking supplies so we’re fully prepared for when cold weather returns.

We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to our incredible community. Your support, whether through volunteering your time, donating supplies, or sharing our posts to spread the word, has made a meaningful difference. Because of you, we were able to provide warmth, comfort, and care to those who needed it most.

Please continue to monitor our page for updates on reopening if temperatures drop or severe weather returns.

Thank you for standing with us and for being part of this compassionate community. We couldn’t do this without you.
