~ 2017 Year End Updates ~
In the final days of 2017, I reflect on the year both personally and globally. One of the bright reflections is the Emergency Warming Center.

This grass roots community effort is in it's 3rd season and it's only possible because of you, our supporters! Thank you for sharing your time, talent and treasure to make this a sustainable life giving program.

We have been open for 8 nights this season and had 9 human guests and a dog spend the night with us. Many guests stay more than one night, in total we have provided 36 nights of shelter, meals and kindness. We had 3 other guests come for dinner and community support but did not spend the night. Additionally we have provided warm clothing & basic necessities and connection with resources to many others.

It takes us all to care for our neighbors in need. May your 2018 be filled with the spirit of kindness & compassion.


With Thanks & Warmth, Cathie
