 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.

The Warming Center is closed until further notice. Special thanks to our amazing volunteers, overnight hosts, and partner churches (Dallas Church and Calvary Chapel Dallas) who made the last seven straight nights happen. You are an amazing community!  The warming center is set to open Tuesday through Saturday nights at Dallas Church (450 SE Washington Street). Overnight temperatures are estimated to be well below freezing this week. If forecasts stay the same, we will move to Calvary Chapel Dallas on Sunday evening. A thanksgiving meal is planned for all guests, starting at 7 p.m. on Thursday.
