The mission of the Grace UMC Women’s Crisis Cold Weather Shelter is to provide a warm, safe place to sleep on freezing nights for women who have no other shelter. Our shelter is basic and has restrooms (not showers), warm drinks, simple foods, cots, and blankets.

  • Shelter season is November 1 to March 31, when temperatures drop below 32 degrees.

  • Shelter hours are 8:15 pm – 7:00 am

  • Volunteers work in teams of 2 and at least 1 must be a woman.

  • Volunteers can take turns sleeping in four-hour shifts, but at least one must be awake at all times.
