 The Polk County Warming Centers are gearing up to be on call starting November 1st -- but this week is still cold! If anyone's interested in helping out this Winter, please check the "Get Involved" page for more info: https://polkwarming.weebly.com/get-involved.html. In the meantime, we have plenty of blankets and handwarmers to give out. Please call Praise Assembly @ 503-837-0300 to coordinate picking some up.
The centers are NOT active tonight (3/13) as temperatures are forecast to remain above freezing. HOWEVER, we are planning to open Saturday through Monday nights (3/14-16). Centers will be open in both Falls City and Dallas for this round. Please help spread the word to your under-sheltered neighbors who need a warm, dry, and safe place for the night.
Please note: Under current circumstances, we have decided to continue warming center operation during the coronavirus outbreak. The risk of exposure (dying of hypothermia because of freezing temperatures) seems to outweigh the risks associated with the virus at this time. We will continue monitoring the situation, and ask that all guests and volunteers take appropriate actions for their personal safety. As always, hosts will do all they can to ensure a safe, warm, and hospitable place for all.
