Winter Emergency Shelter And Warming Center

Both the Winter Emergency Shelter and Cold Weather Warming Center have been created to provide relief to those in our community who are unhoused when inclement weather happens this winter. 

Beginning November 1, 2024, and continuing through March 31, 2025, these services will be available at Fellowship Missions in Warsaw.

Our goal is to help prevent unhoused individuals and families from serious harm, illness, and death during the winter months in Kosciusko County.

The Winter Emergency Shelter and Warming Center are open based on weather conditions, so please call us at 574-268-9555 for up-to-date information.

The Warming Center

Our Cold Weather Warming Center will be open for those who need to get out of the cold and warm up during daytime hours when the weather is 32 degrees or below or has hazard-like winter conditions during the day. The Center will be available on a day-by-day basis so just give us a call at 574-268-9555 to see if it is available each day. Check-in is from 9am – 3pm every day the center is open.

Winter Emergency Overnight Shelter

In addition to the daytime Warming Center, this winter season (November – March), we will take in as many people as we can safely fit in our Winter Emergency Shelter every night when the weather is 32 degrees or below or has hazard-like winter conditions at night. 

Check-in for those needing a warm place to sleep is daily from 3pm –7pm. Supper that evening and breakfast the following morning will be provided.

All guests must leave the shelter at 9am the following morning with their belongings unless the Winter Warming Center is open. They will be able to return at 3pm the same day if the weather is still cold and hazardous.
