CARE is getting ready to stand up our Winter Warming Center for the winter season, and WE NEED YOUR HELP
1. We need Volunteers : Adults 18+ with a clean background check who are willing to work a 4 hour evening/overnight shift. This is on-call for when the Warming Center is activated. Please reach out to warmingcenter@careinc.org or call 503-842-5261 to apply and get set up with an orientation.
2. We need Donations: Non-perishable snacks/drinks (Coffee, tea, hot cocoa, etc.), Instant Meals (Noodle cups, Ramen, Oatmeal, etc.), and NEW coats, gloves, hats, boots, handwarmers. CARE is sadly not able to accepted used clothing items. Donations can be dropped off at the CARE office at 2310 First St. in Tillamook.
This year CARE will be returning to a congregate shelter model in partnership with the First Christian Church in downtown Tillamook. The Warming Center is activated based on the following criteria:
1. Temperatures are predicted to drop below 32 degrees before midnight
2. Winter, Flood, and/or High Wind WARNING.
CARE notifies the community of a Warming Center activation here on social media, signs around the City of TIllamook , and by email. To be added to the email list please email warmingcenter@careinc.org.
