If you are unable to donate financially PLEASE SHARE!
We have a location! Now we need your financial support to open our doors, our hope is by Christmas. There are people right now sleeping outside and in their cars.
Here is our story:
Through harsh Montana winters, we are a Low Barrier facility to save lives!
We accept people as they are. We provide a warm safe shelter for individuals or families who may have no other option.
Our Mission is to save lives and encourage dignity through low barrier access to a warm safe place to sleep for anyone in need throughout the coldest months of the year. We provide seasonal, low barrier access to night shelter services regardless of an individual or family’s personal barriers to housing security. There are not enough shelter beds in the valley.
The Flathead Warming Center is founded on Christian principles. “We love because He first loved us.” ~ 1 John 4:19. It really is that simple. We are called to love and care for those in need. Everyone needs shelter and it is not our mission to judge who deserves shelter and who does not, because we understand that we do not get what we deserve either. It is because of our faith that we support the mission of the Flathead Warming Center.
It is in faith that we take each next step, without knowing where the funding will come from. We believe the Flathead Warming Center is the right thing to do and we understand it will take many in our community to make it happen!
The Flathead Warming Center is low barrier. Any requirement for an individual to listen to our beliefs or to participate in our faith can be a barrier for individuals and families to feel welcomed inside the shelter. We will not force our faith on anyone. Everyone is welcome! We only want to love in ways that make others wonder why we are different. We want to share a light that is so amazing, our neighbors will want to know the source of it.
