It’s finally here! 🎉
We’re excited to announce that November 1st will be Opening Day for the MHC Warming Center!
Doors open to guests at 7:00 PM for their first warm night of the season.
If you are unhoused and seeking shelter, here’s what to know before you arrive:
🏠 Low-Barrier Shelter:
We welcome everyone. The only thing we ask is that any weapons be locked up while you’re at the center. We’ll keep them secure overnight, and you’ll get them back first thing in the morning when you leave.
🔍 Check-In Process:
When you arrive, you’ll go through a quick metal detector screening, followed by a brief intake so we can learn a little more about you and see how we can best assist you with resources and support.
🍽️ Dinner Time:
After that, you’ll enjoy a delicious hot meal provided by one of our amazing community members or partner organizations. Trust us — the food is GOOD!
🛏️ Your Stay:
We’ll help you get settled with any comfort items you need and show you to your warm, comfy bed for the night. Our staff stay on-site all night to ensure everyone’s safety and comfort.
🚪 Center Rules:
Doors lock at 10:00 PM — no re-entry after that time.
The only exceptions are for guests transported by public safety officials or those who work late (please let us know in advance).
There are three smoke breaks throughout the night — so no worries, you won’t have to go without to***co all night.
☕ Morning Routine:
We’ll serve a light breakfast (think burritos or biscuits), and if you need a place to go during the day, we’ll connect you with our friends upstairs at the Salvation Army Day Center.
We can’t wait to welcome you back for another season of warmth, safety, and community. ❤️
