With overnight low temperatures expected to dip, St. George Episcopal Church is activating a daytime warming center in downtown Roseburg for at least Friday through Sunday.

The day center will operate from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. in the church’s parish hall on Southeast Cass Avenue. This will offer a warm place for housed people without enough heat and limited emergency supplies to people without overnight shelter, according to day center operators Jacob Schlueter and Courtney Greenwalt, who are members of the church.

The day warming center is seeking additional donations: snacks, pull-tab canned food, Cup of Noodles instant soup, bottled or canned drinks, sleeping bags, tents, blankets, pillows, hats, coats, gloves and more. Cash can be contributed as well.

To donate or volunteer, contact Schlueter at 503-683-2389 or at: Jacob.schlueter@gmail.com.
