**********CALLING FOR WARMING STATION VOLUNTEERS - 12/4/2014 PRADO WARMING STATION
Each year Prado Day Center in San Luis Obispo opens up as a “Warming Station” to provide overnight accommodations to those homeless individuals and families that would otherwise be outside in the elements. The Warming Station opens when freezing temperatures and/or more than 3 nights of rain are forecast.
Prado Day Center is looking for volunteers who have a heart for those in need and are willing to donate their time to covering the Warming Station shifts. Please email CAPSLO manager Shawn Ison at sison@capslo.org so that you can get on the distribution list. Later this winter, when they plan to open the Warming Station, you will get an email asking if you’d like to volunteer. Just like with the Homeless Shelter Overflow, no experience is necessary - only compassion for your fellow human beings.
I found a good explanation online for the "Warming Station" (note that some details may have changed since this was written). The interior of the Prado day center does not change. No beds would be offered. There may be blankets and sleeping bags, but people would have to utilize the interior as is. The accommodations are similar to an 'airport style' of comfort. People can rest in chairs and/or sleeping bags, but no beds will be brought in.
Additional Information
- Warming Station Shifts: 4:30pm-12:00a, 12:00am-8:30am or 4:30pm-8:30am
- Volunteers must complete a volunteer application
- Volunteers must show a photo I.D.
- Volunteers must be willing to be called upon within 24-hours’ notice
If you can’t volunteer your time, Prado Day Center needs the following items to support the Warming Station:
- Blankets, Pillows, Sleeping Bags
- Disposable plates/bowls/cups/utensils
- Milk, juice, lunchmeat, cheese, mayonnaise, mustard, sliced bread
- Coffee/tea, creamer, sugar, snacks- Cup of Noodles/canned soups
Send your email address to Shawn Ison at sison@capslo.org to get on the Warming Station email list. Note that Prado just completed their first "Warming Station" session of the season, starting on Monday 12/1/2014 and ending on Thursday 12/4/2014. I did not participate, as they had already filled all the spots, but the reports are that it went well.
**********CALLING FOR PRADO WARMING STATION VOLUNTEERS - OPENING WEDS. NIGHT 2/26 THROUGH SAT. NIGHT 3/1/2014
Update 2/27/14: I just got through meeting with Shawn (manager at Prado Day Center) and she gave me some good news: all the shifts for the Warming Station are covered, and dinner for all the nights are covered, too! Awesome - thanks, everyone.
