2026 Hypothermia Relief Shelter


Holy Comforter will host a one-week Hypothermia Prevention Shelter from Sunday, March 1 to Sunday, March 8.


In partnership with FACETS, our Ministry Center will host 40+ guests who live and work without a home. Once again, our parish will provide a warm place to sleep and nourishing meals.


Personal Supply Donations

Our shelter will offer much-needed personal supplies: toothpaste/brushes, deodorant, socks (new), underwear (new), gloves/hats (new or gently used), soap/shampoo, etc. A bin to drop off supplies will be in the church narthex.

Monetary Contributions Needed

Preparing Meals

For each breakfast service, we are seeking two individuals/groups to prepare breakfast. Recipes will need to be doubled per individual/group to support all our guests. Please note, Friday’s breakfast is store bought breakfast sandwiches for those who don’t wish to cook but would like to provide a meal.

For each dinner service, we are seeking two individuals/groups to prepare meals. You are asked to follow recipes as closely as possible.
