THE WARMING PLACE  T  HOMELESS SHELTER 

Winter has arrived! The temperature is cold and snow covers the ground. The cold weather is dangerous for our homeless neighbors. First Baptist partners with the Town of Amherst to host the Warming Place homeless shelter to offer a safe place and a warm environment throughout the night.

The Warming Place is open every night from December 14 to April 30 from 10:00 p.m. - 7:00 a.m. Our neighbors in need of shelter are invited to the church cafeteria for warmth, safety, and community. Breakfast is served each morning. Social service representatives are available to connect people with resources in our communty to build a better future. 

The Center for Human Development manages the Warming Place and provides professional staff each night, bringing years of experience managing community services in Springfield, Northampton, and Amherst. Volunteers from local churches assist the staff. To learn about volunteering contact the church office at office@fbcamherst.org or 549-3596.
