The Warming Center is activating this weekend at Life Center Foursquare Church in Independence: Friday/Saturday/Sunday nights, December 17-19. We are excited to be able to stay open on weekends, regardless of the weather, to offer a little extra relief to our neighbors who are without stable and secure housing. Please help us spread the word to those who may need a warm, dry, and safe place to sleep tonight!
If you are interested in donating or volunteering, please follow this link: https://polkwarming.weebly.com/get-involved.html.

When your son leans over and whispers, "We should get ice cream for everyone" -- that's exactly what you do!
