Warming Centers Open! Saturday-Monday Nights

0 Comments

Read Now
 
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.

FALLS CITY
Location: Community Center
320 N Main Street (West end of Fire Hall)

DALLAS
Location: Dallas Church
450 SE Washington Street

The details:
  • Intake is 7-9 p.m. For the safety and courtesy of all guests, please check in during this time if possible. After hours, call 503-949-4987.
  • The warming center operates from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m.
  • Transportation can be arranged if needed.
  • Families and pets welcome.
