This new article from the Bucks County Beacon highlights the record-breaking need our community faced during the coldest winter in years and the incredible compassion shown by volunteers, host sites, and supporters who made shelter possible night after night.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who helped us provide warmth, safety, dignity, and hope this season.

What a season. What a community. 💙

Because of you, the 2025–2026 Code Blue season was record-breaking:

• 87 open nights
• 67 guests served
• 1,818 nights of shelter provided
• 221 volunteers across 1,912 shifts
• 5,111 total hours of service
• 400+ kitchen helpers serving thousands of meals

This is what compassion in action looks like!

To our volunteers, partners, and supporters: thank you for showing up on the coldest nights and making sure no one faced them alone.

And a special thanks to our incredible host sites - Neshaminy Warwick Presbyterian, Our Lady of Guadalupe, Doylestown Presbyterian and St Paul’s Lutheran - for your warm welcome year after year.
