The warming centers are currently closed and will re-open the next night temperatures get down to freezing. In the meantime, please invite your under-sheltered neighbors to a free pancake dinner this coming Tuesday, February 25th, 5-6:30 p.m. at St. Thomas Episcopal Church in Dallas. We so appreciate you hosting the center for six nights this rotation. Your love and care for the vulnerable in our community is inspiring!  We are prepping to open Monday night (2/17) likely through Thursday night (2/20) as overnight temps remain below freezing. Warming 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.

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).
Please help spread the word to your under-sheltered neighbors who need warm, dry, and safe place to sleep.

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.
