WHO WE ARE

MISSION

The Malden Warming Center (MWC) seeks to serve those experiencing homelessness by providing safe shelter and warmth during the winter months, recognizing each person’s inherent dignity and unique circumstance.  We operate only December 1 to March 31 every year, seven nights a week from 7:00pm - 7:30am.

​

The MWC is a temporary night center for those that are homeless. It is a safe place of warmth during the harshest winter months. The MWC welcomes people experiencing active substance abuse and offers comfort, hot drinks, and a warm meal. As much as possible warm clothing and toiletries will be available and the staff works to connect guests to needed services including permanent housing, substance use treatment, health and mental health services.

 

​
