Upcoming Events
JUNE 12 - AUG 28 - Cooling Center Meals
Fridays, June 12 – August 28
11:00 AM – 2:00 PM
Grace UMC Fellowship Hall
The Warming Center is going to be a Cooling Center This Summer! Grace United Methodist Church has graciously opened their doors to allow the Warming Center to host a midday lunch each Friday from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM for our unhoused neighbors. This will give people a place to get out of the heat, enjoy a meal, and spend time in community.
You can sign up to provide a meal or to volunteer to help serve lunch, clean up, and hang out with guests! Make a volunteer account with the Cape Warming Center to get started!

We value serving our local community, which is why we have committed to preparing meals once a month for Street Level’s Meal Train for Homeless Neighbors.

A few times a week, street level partners with various organizations and individuals to serve hot meals to over 30 neighbors. If you’d like to participate, join us on the third or last Tuesday of the month! To stay in the loop, you can also join the Street Level Meal Prep group in our app!

Our location offers some of the best seats in town for the parade—so we’re turning it into a community celebration!
While families wait for the parade to begin, we’ll have games, food, face painting, a petting zoo, adoptable puppies, and more to help make the morning extra fun. Activities will pause during the parade so everyone can enjoy the show, and will resume after to keep the fun going!
