The WARM season began in November and our week to host will be here before you know it! WARM (Wrapping Arms aRound Many) is a ministry involving dozens of churches in the area. Churches host or assist a host site in housing the homeless in our community who have nowhere to go during the cold winter nights. Guests arrive at the host site around 5:30 pm, where they are provided a hot meal, a cot for the evening, and some time to freshen up, play games, read, etc. In the morning they are provided with breakfast prior to leaving for the day at 7 am.
Not only do we need volunteers to serve as monitors, we also need donations of food items and personal supplies. There will be a complete list of volunteer opportunities as well as suggested donation items listed on a bulletin board in the fellowship hall. If you would like more information on how to participate, look for the WARM bulletin board in the Fellowship Hall. Questions can be directed to Gail W., Good Sam’s WARM Coordinator.
