If you are at all interested in volunteering or being part of our pool of overnight hosts, please plan to join one of these trainings -- or contact us. We are thankful to be able to provide stipends again this year to our trained overnight hosts (two each night) and are continually looking to expand our team!

Showers facilities are available and open to the public at Community Life Church in Monmouth! In addition to taking a shower, we want to help connect community members to other resources, and folks can stay for awhile to get out of the weather, charge devices, and get a snack. Appointments are required and can be made at this link, or by calling the Warming Centers number: 503-949-4987.
