Volunteers for WAB Warming Center 2026-27 season

The William A Burnard Warming Center provides temporary overnight refuge from freezing temperatures, along with access to water, snacks, warm weather clothing, and information about community programs and resources. The season officially opens on November 2 and goes through April 2027.

Onsite volunteers assist in two different shifts that run 7 days per week:

• 6pm to 11pm: Setup as needed (paperwork, cots, snacks, etc), check in guests, supervise smoke breaks. Lights out and quiet time after 10pm.
• 6am to 8:30am: Prepare for guests departure (snacks, coffee, etc), wake guests with an alarm, check out guests (return personal belongings and medication), supervise a smoke break, take down bedding to prepare for laundry, clean up paperwork and tables to return the center to regular facility day use.

 Off-site volunteers complete various tasks during the week and do not interact with guests:

• Laundry – Wash bedding used by guests.
• Tabling – Staff informational tables at outreach events in the county.
• Collateral creation – Use tools like Canva to make custom flyers.
• Cleaning – Deep clean the room in St. John’s church we are using.
• Donation pickup – Pickup donations as needed throughout Cache County.
