The Homeless Families Warming Center offers homeless families a warm place to stay from 7pm to 7am – so families and their children don’t have to sleep out in the cold.
If you know of any families that may be sleeping in cars, in unheated homes, or outside, please let them know that the Warming Center is open nightly at 7pm. If you have questions about the Warming Center, please call Becky Mullins at 503-256-2280.
