Hello FSJ community, with the new year, brings new challenges, one of those being change of location. We are going to have to temporarily postpone this program, until we can figure out how to move forward to better serve you. I will be reaching out to CAI to see what funding is available, and I will continue delivering warming supplies from the vehicle when we can. We are dissatisfied with the lack of notice as I’m sure you are to. Discrimination is real. People’s kindness is to and mine is still there wanting to give to this community. So if you see me out and your cold come find me and i will do what I can do help.

Hello FSJ community, I have some good news, WWFSJ will be out full force tonight armed with generous donations from our local portage mountain cannabis shop. Not only did they donate warm clothes and items but also a gift card to Safeway so we can stock up on some food items. Also over the break Trevor got us some new walls for the tent so we no longer have to use blankets, which means we have around 10 big blankets to give out tonight. It’s been a tough December, heres to 2026 and seeing what our community can accomplish together!!!

Happy Sunday friends.
We’ve missed spending our evenings connecting and sharing with all of you.
From frostbite, to frozen equipment, it’s been a battle getting outside, which says something about us people to keep going through all this cold, and we finally have a break ahead.
Tonight’s weather is welcoming us back outside to serve you this Sunday evening.
We are looking forward to sharing stories by the fire and to give away warm drinks and supplies to you all, come down and visit and reconnect after these cold harsh days we’ve had!

"Unfortunately, tonight's cold weather and risk of frostbite forced us to make the tough decision to cancel our Warm Welcome setup. We're truly sorry for the inconvenience and were looking forward to being with you all. We're planning to be back out on Christmas Day, where we'll do our best to provide a warm and welcoming space for us to gather, sit, and celebrate the holiday together.

Warm Welcome FSJ was out in full force tonight, providing a warm and welcoming space for those in need. Despite the bitter cold, the community came together to offer a helping hand and a warm smile. We're grateful for the support of our volunteers and donors who make it possible for us to serve our community. Tonight was a reminder that even in the harshest of winters, kindness and compassion can bring warmth and hope. Thanks to everyone who stopped by and to those who give us a welcoming hand.
