Warming Center needs volunteers

For the fourth consecutive year, the Berryville Warming Center will be providing a warm bed and a meal to any person seeking shelter from the elements this winter.

The Warming Center, located in the fellowship hall of the Berryville United Methodist Church at 400 Eureka Ave. in Berryville, will be open any day or night when the temperature drops below 20 degrees.

Warming Center co-directors Ken Wingate and Ann Dee Davis-Wingate would like everyone to know that all are welcome without any consideration of their background.

“This is an entirely non-denominational effort on the part of the volunteers and sponsors that are working to make the Center possible,” said Wingate.

“We want anyone that needs this service to know that they are welcome without any questions.

“We are very appreciative of all the help we’ve received from local businesses and individuals. However, our greatest need is for volunteers to stay at the center during the multiple shifts that are required to keep our doors open.” The Warming Center would like to encourage any person who would like more information or who wishes to help with this mission to contact Ken Wingate at 870-423-4707.
