Warming Station needs more volunteers
By JADE MCDOWELL
NEWS EDITOR
The Hermiston Warming
Station is in desperate need
of more volunteers, accord-
ing to board members.
Sandy Francis, the warm-
ing station’s new board chair,
said so far only 31 people
have signed up to be volun-
teers. That’s not enough to
staff the station all through
the night, although they have
committed to at least opening
from 7-10 p.m. each night so
people can come in and get
warmed up and have a cup
of soup.
“We may have to turn
them out at 10, unfortu-
nately,” Francis said.
The warming station
posted a plea for more volun-
teers on its Facebook page on
Sunday, Nov. 22, along with
a schedule of more training
dates at 6 p.m. every other
day. Volunteers must attend
a training, pass a background
check and be at least 18
years old. They don’t have to
RSVP, just show up at 1075
S. Highway 395 in Hermis-
ton at 6 p.m. on one of the
dates listed.
“We understand that we
are living in scary and try-
ing times, but we cannot for-
get about the homeless in our
community. They NEED us,”
the post stated. “Our mission
is to compassionately provide

a safe place to meet the basic
human needs of those with-
out shelter during the winter.
Without volunteers, we just
cannot make that happen.
Please think about volunteer-
ing with us this season if you
can. Many people depend on
us to be successful.”
The Hermiston Warm-
ing Station is usually located
in a house on 1075 S. High-
way 395, but this year is
the 2020-2021 school year.
New vouchers are available
for download now through
Aug. 31, 2021.
