Open Next Two Nights at Both Locations ☕ Polk County Warming Centers

Warmth is Worth Sharing

Open Next Two Nights at Both Locations

We are getting cold again (with some snow likely this time)! Because of the forecasted freezing temperatures, the center will be open at BOTH locations tonight and tomorrow night, November 30th and December 1st. According to our regular schedule, the Dallas location will remain open Friday and Saturday nights as well, regardless of weather conditions.

Nights of 11/30 - 12/3
Dallas Church
450 SE Washington Street

Nights of 11/30 - 12/1
Falls City Community Center
320 N Main Street (West end of Fire Hall)

We will potentially stay open longer in Falls City as well. Please check back on Friday for an updated post.

As always...

Intake is 7-9 p.m. For the safety and courtesy of all guests, please check in during this time if possible. After hours or to arrange transportation, please call 503-949-4987.
The warming center operates from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m.
Transportation can be arranged within rural Polk County if needed. The Cherriots bus system is providing free rides to and from the Warming Centers when they are operating, Mondays-Saturdays.
Families and pets welcome.

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. 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.

Huge shout out to the Cherriots bus system who is providing free transportation for our Warming Center guests to get to and from the center on the nights we're open: https://www.cherriots.org/news/cherriots-supports-warming-shelter-efforts/. Thank you for your gracious support!

If you'd like to volunteer as a driver on Sundays or holidays (when Cherriots buses aren't in service), we'd love to have you as part of the team! Please fill out a contact form or simply reply to this email if you're interested.
