Here comes a once-in-fifty-years cold front!! Temperatures are expected to drop down to 12 degrees this coming week. HOPE Missions’ Warming Center needs to be open for extended periods of time during this dangerously cold weather. We can only do this with your support!
Please take a look at the graphic and select a block of time that works for you. For meals, we need to be able to feed at least 70 people. I’ll update that number as we see the need, but we typically average 85 people a day. I’m anticipating fewer people due to the cold; however, we don’t actually know!!
Here’s the list of serving blocks. I’ll update this post often to show which blocks are filled.
Please see the form below to sign-up for a block!

Thanks for your prompt reply!! that’s really a blessing!!
Where do we feed – I can help on Christmas Morning – Let me know what I nee -d to do? bring?
Thank you SOOO much!! The best method is to prepare the food offsite and bring it to the Mission to serve. We have plates, utensils, etc., and a serving area that our guests are very familiar with. 🙂 I’ll have a much better idea of how many to feed by Friday or Saturday afternoon. Our current average attendance probably doesn’t make sense in this case.
