CATHOLIC CHARITIES WARMING CENTER ZCARE DONATION

Written by on November 28, 2024

The La Crosse Warming Center provides a warm place to sleep for members of our community that are experiencing homelessness. They need volunteers to help staff the Center and also donations for their guests. Find a list of what is needed, sign up to volunteer, or make a monetary donation HERE!

Lacey Hein and Johnny Wadzinski stopped in to talk about how the changes in the city have affected the center and what they need most right now:

Not only is the Warming Center seeking volunteers, but they are also in need of donations. The biggest need is always blankets and men’s warm clothing.

With the help of our sponsors, Builders Flooring and Optical Fashions, Zcare was able to donate $1,000 to Catholic Charities to provide meals and needed items to their clients.

If your family or organization is interested in providing any meals for this season, reach out to the Warming Center to get on the schedule by phone: 608-519-8060.

  • Sign up to provide a meal for breakfast or dinner.
  • Sign up to volunteer for a shift. If you are not a current volunteer, please complete our volunteer form first.

They are always accepting donations – currently looking for any and all donations (any toiletries, socks, mittens/gloves, underwear, clothing, etc) to help serve their guests! If you have any items for donation, they can be brought to the Warming Center, 413 South 3rd Street, in the evening hours (after 6:30pm). If these times do not work for you, please reach out to work something out together.
