Urgent Community Call for Volunteers ❤️

For Heart of the Basin Warming Center in Vernal, UT

We are scheduling two weeks at a time, and right now we urgently need help filling remaining shifts.

🕒 Each shift requires at least TWO volunteers
🚫 We cannot stay open on nights without two volunteers scheduled

How to read the schedule:
🟢 Green = Fully staffed (no help needed)
🟡 Yellow = We need ONE more volunteer
🔴 Red = We need TWO volunteers

Every red or yellow square represents a real risk of closing that shift and closing means turning people away from warmth, safety, and rest.

Shifts available:
Morning: Clean-up & closing (6:00 AM – varies by day)
Evening: Set-up & intake (7:30 PM – 10:00 PM)
Overnight: Monitor & maintenance (10:00 PM – 6:00 AM)

💛 You do not need special skills, just a caring presence and reliability.
💛 You can volunteer for one shift or multiple.
💛 Even one night makes a difference.

If you’ve already signed up, thank you! If you’ve been thinking about it, now is the moment. This work is only possible because of this community showing up for one another.

👉 Please sign up today or share this post so it reaches someone who can. https://tinyurl.com/HOBVolunteer

We cannot do this without you.

With gratitude,
Heart of the Basin Warming Center

Setting clear, kind boundaries during the holidays helps you protect your energy and enjoy the season on your own terms! More tips are: know your limits first, stay consistent, offer alternatives, use "I" statements, allow others to have feelings, and remember: it’s not selfish!
