Due to extreme cold and an unprecedented need, the Women’s Center of Greater Lansing was approved by the City of Lansing to operate a temporary warming center through Monday.

We need volunteers for four-hour shifts to support staff and guests, and donations to help cover safety requirements, food and beverages, and staff overtime.

Capacity is limited. Please call ahead before sending anyone to ensure we have space available.
