"For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink. I was a sojourner and you welcomed me"
Matthew 25:35

The La Crosse Warming Center's Mission is to work with the greater La Crosse community to better serve those experiencing homelessness with dignity and
respect by providing a safe and warm place for 15 homeless adults 18 years and older to get in out of the cold during the winter months. Our doors are open November 1 through March 31.  We are located in the lower level of the First Baptist Church, 1209 W. Main St. The Center’s hours are from 9PM-7AM Monday-Sunday. The center offers open intake from 9PM-10PM – after 10PM the police, hospital, or Salvation Army can refer clients.  The Center does allow those individuals who are currently suffering from mental health and/or addictions to enter the facility as long as they are acting in a calm and respectful manor. The Center is funded and operated by Catholic Charities and community volunteers.
