Volunteers Needed: Help Keep Warren County Warm This Winter!

Immanuel United Church of Christ in Wright City is serving this 2025-2026 season as the Emergency Warming Response (EWR) Center for Warren County, opening doors on nights when temperatures drop to 20°F or below to make sure no one in our community faces the cold alone.

EWR needs volunteers to help make it happen.

From greeting guests, laundering linens, and serving meals to helping provide a safe, warm place to rest, every volunteer makes a difference. Even one night of your time can mean everything to someone in need.

Season Dates: November 16, 2025 – March 14, 2026

Hours: 9 PM – 7 AM (only when temps reach 20°F or below)

New this year! Guests with gentle pets are welcome! Pets will be kept in crates near their owner's bed and on leashes.

Note: Entrance to the warming center at Immanuel is located in the rear parking lot, entering through the double glass doors.

If you or your organization have a heart for helping others, please consider signing up. Additional volunteer info can be found at this link:
