Tis the season for family, vacations, and illness. As a result the warming center will be open only on Monday 12/29 and Tuesday 12/30 this week. We are working on an alternative for those in need for Wednesday thru Friday night. Weather projections call for 2 weeks or more of cold nights. We still need more volunteers to sign up to help make sure people have a warm safe place to sleep on these cold nights. If you are interested in volunteering please fill out this form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1rfmeGuKl5Vc9dzWJRatX-QhN1Y0s4jCs6vuegMf6lQk/edit?usp=drivesdk

Remember…Every Time

In Indiana between 2015-2019, 36% of unsafe sleep deaths occurred during naptime.

From the middle of the night to the middle of the day - alone, on their back and in a crib is always the safest way. Every sleep. Every time. Safe sleep saves lives.
