The Warming Centers are currently closed due to warmer weather.
On Wednesday, January 29th, volunteers across Polk County will be meeting with those who are homeless or displaced. Information gathered will help us create services that better support the needs of our community. Volunteers are needed onsite and for mobile outreach teams. These are our home-base locations for the evening of the count:
We need supplies to hand out to those in need. Supplies needed: tents - tarps - sleeping bags travel-size hygiene products gloves - handwarmers - space blankets Other donation ideas can be found here: https://polkwarming.weebly.com/get-involved.html

Did you know that the Polk County Warming Centers has the mission of serving rural Polk County (basically everywhere outside of West Salem)? Although we don't typically get many calls from outside of Monmouth, Independence, Dallas, and Falls City, our region includes Pedee, Rickreall, Perrydale, Grand Ronde, and even half of Willamina (the train tracks divide Yamhill and Polk counties). We will be open both locations Wednesday and Thursday nights, January 15-16. Please help spread the word to your under-sheltered neighbors who need warm, dry, and safe place to sleep. FALLS CITY Location: Community Center 320 N Main Street (West end of Fire Hall) DALLAS Location: Dallas Alliance Church 775 E Ellendale Ave (white schoolhouse building) As always...
Snow is still in the forecast! We will be opening the warming centers in both Falls City and Dallas tonight (1/13) and tomorrow night (1/14). The rest of the week TBD.
We are especially in need of grab-and-go food items at our new Falls City location. Donations can be dropped off at either warming center site during the 7-9 p.m. intake hours. Other donation needs are listed here: https://polkwarming.weebly.com/get-involved.html. Thank you to Cultivate Community Church in Monmouth for your willingness to host, even though temperatures were too warm to activate during your two weeks on call.
