As winter approaches, congregations can make a critical difference for their community. The resources in this collection offer creative and helpful ways a congregation can provide support to neighbors dealing with cold temperatures, housing insecurity, and a lack of cold weather safety supplies. This collection contains guidance from the Office of Housing Stability in Knoxville, Tennessee about partnering to establish a warming center, an article with several ideas for congregational outreach in the winter months, and a practical article with instructions for a cold weather kit ministry to help the unhoused in the winter. Together, these resources can help congregations turn their compassion into meaningful action for their community.
