WARM Fall Updates
As September quickly rolls to an end, I wanted to send out a note to provide an update and to say thanks to the community for its unwavering support of WARM. Without your support, none of the services WARM provides would be possible.
Blessings,
Eric Kulbeck, WARM Executive Director

Volunteers Needed
WARM has been busier than ever since we reopened in May. The Food Pantry is consistently serving 3x more than our normal number of households and our Donation Drop-off has been receiving donations at an unprecedented rate. WARM relies heavily on our volunteer workforce to be able to provide our services. If you can spare a day a week or even couple of hours a week, WARM is looking to recruit you as a volunteer. Just go to our volunteer page, fill out and submit the request form.
Community Impact
If you haven’t had a chance yet, please visit our Community Impact page to see how WARM is providing for the community (we update this page monthly). This impact is directly attributed to everyone who shops in our Thrift Store, provides us with donations, makes a monetary contribution and volunteers.
Giving
Don’t forget, we make it easy for you to give to WARM. You can give online through our PayPal portal with a one time gift or setup a recurring gift . We are also supported by Arlan’s and Amazon purchases, see our giving page for details.
