Winter Nights at LOPC

As we wrap up two wonderful weeks of hosting the Winter Nights Shelter at LOPC, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks to all of our incredible volunteers. It’s been such a joy! Our guests have shared how much they appreciate the warm, welcoming space we’ve created together and the kindness and thoughtfulness that each of you has shown. Thank you for your generosity, care, and the spirit of compassion you bring to our community!

We’re also looking for a couple of volunteers to help grow the Winter Nights team and continue this meaningful work throughout the year. If you’d like to learn more or find additional ways to get involved with the Winter Nights program, please contact Michelle Browning.

If you’d like to find more ways to get involved with Trinity Center, contact Trinity Center Partner Liaison Jim Olufson or Michelle Browning.
