Dangerous cold tonight - wind chill temperatures could reach -10° to -20°! If you or anyone you know needs to know where they can warm up, here are options:

Dial 911 in an emergency if no other options.

These came just in time! Thanks to the The Basilica of Saint Mary for this incredibly generous and well-timed donation of 20 boxes full of warming kits. Our Street Outreach Team picked them up just before the snow and they've been needed ever since. #ThankYou

Avivo's range of services covers housing, recovery services, mental health services, and career advancement. That's why our programs hosted an open house so staff across program groups learn about each other and how to ensure participants in our programs have access to everything they need.
