TEAMWORK MAKES THE DREAM WORK!

WARMING CENTER TO OPEN

It's that time of year again, and WE NEED YOU!! Volunteers are needed to keep the Warming
Center open for our neighbors who so desperately need it! On the nights the center is open, there are three 4-hour shifts that need to be staffed by 3 volunteers each. That's 9 volunteers per night!! Please consider becoming a volunteer for this ministry!

You can read more about Warming Center volunteer training and the supplies the Warming Center needs in this month's newsletter.
