With dangerously cold temperatures it is crucial to bundle up! Double up on layers of warm and waterproof clothing to stay warm and dry.

Bottom Layer: Warm socks, thermal leggings and long sleeves. Throw on a sweatshirt or hoodie for even more layers!
Top Layer: Waterproof boots, thick pants, and a coat so puffy you can’t put your arms down.

If you don't look like a marshmallow, are you even doing winter right?

The incoming storm makes this more needed than ever! We have had many kind and wonderful volunteers to step up so far and help watch over the facility, but there are some big holes to fill this weekend. If you have capable transportation and confidence in your safety, we could use your help making sure the most vulnerable neighbors have a warm place for the weekend. NOTE: Freedom Family Church - Siler City is willing to extend their hospitality even further into the day to allow for temps to rise, but we need help covering those morning shifts as well!

If you have any questions or are willing to brave the conditions, please call 919-214-0582 or email dakota@lovechatham.org.
