WHO WE ARE

The MWC is a temporary night center for those that are homeless. It is a safe place of warmth during the harshest winter months. The MWC welcomes people experiencing active substance abuse and offers comfort, hot drinks, and a warm meal. As much as possible warm clothing and toiletries will be available and the staff works to connect guests to needed services including permanent housing, substance use treatment, health and mental health services.
