One Big Tent Portage County

10/16/2026

There has been a lot of confusion about supporting the 365 warming shelter. I am going to try to clarify.

One Big Tent is not responsible for any payments for the Warming Shelter. We support them in other ways.
Donations to help run the warming shelter can go to:
Stevens Point Community Outreach (SPCO)

Checks for the Warming Shelter made to Stevens Point Community Outreach (SPCO) can also be dropped off at Prevail Bank on Highway 10.

Partnering Together purchased the building where the shelter will be. They have remodeling and capital costs, but are not running the shelter. You can mail donations to Partnering Together at 1600 Briggs St. , SP

One Big Tent works with both organizations, but we have separate budgets and are separate organizations. We continue to provide supports to our neighbors in need for housing, gas cards, food cards, etc. Donations can be mailed to One Big Tent 900 Brilowski Rd, SP or online donations through Zeffy for One Big Tent &/or Laundry Love.
Thanks for your support!
