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.

Handwarmers are still an urgent need at both locations. This is one of the best deals on Amazon at the moment: 80 Pack Handwarmers. Thank you for your support in keeping our neighbors warm!  The warming centers are closed tonight (2/8), but we are prepping to open tomorrow and Monday nights (2/9-10) as temperatures continue to hover around freezing in rural Polk County. We will NOT be duplicating sites for this round -- only activating our rotating site, which is currently in Dallas.

As we get farther into Winter, we are running low on handwarmers. This is one of the most commonly requested items by our guests, and they are nice to have on hand (pun intended!). If you're in the Monmouth area, donations can be dropped off at Praise Assembly (189 Monmouth Ave. S) underneath the back overhang in the box labelled "warming center donations." In Dallas, they can be dropped at the Resource Center (Academy Building, Room 220). Just mention they are for the warming centers. This is one of the best deals on Amazon at the moment: 80 Pack Handwarmers. Thank you for your support in keeping our neighbors warm!  Spring is returning to Winter! Overnight lows are forecast to hit freezing or below for the next three nights. This is quite a contrast from the high 40s and 50s we've been experiencing! Because of this, we will be activating the warming centers in both Falls City and Monmouth Saturday/Sunday/Monday nights (February 1-3).
