An Emergency Warming Center is a temporary facility for those in need of a place for respite from the cold weather. The warming center is not intended to replace the services provided by a shelter.

Openings are available at local shelters for anyone who is in need of a full service shelter. Those seeking shelter accommodations are encouraged to seek assistance from our partners at the Union Mission (Men’s Shelter), 901-526-8403 or The Salvation Army (Women or women and children).

Other shelter services may be found by calling the 24 hour MIFA hotline at 901-529-4545. Beginning at 9:30 PM, persons needing a ride to the warming center via MATA may contact Hospitality Hub at (901) 297-1680 to schedule pickup.
