From November 17, 2025, to March 1, 2026, our warming center at the red warehouse in unincorporated Utah County will open its doors every night from 8:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m., offering unhoused, single adults (18 years and older) a safe, warm place to rest.
We’re looking for compassionate volunteers, also 18 and older, to join us for evening, late-night, or early-morning shifts, working alongside experienced staff to help with set-up, clean-up, safety, and—most importantly—sharing kindness and conversation with our guests. No experience is needed training will be provided. We are also in need of warm, new or gently used adult-sized blankets, along with socks, gloves, hats, hand warmers, umbrellas, and rain ponchos to help our friends stay safe and comfortable. If you’d like to lend a hand, donate supplies, or learn more, please follow the links provided or contact our Housing Director, Kena Mathews.
