Winter Shelter and Additional Resources for Upcoming Winter Season

Mid-Columbia Community Action Council opened the 24-bed Hood River Warming Shelter at 1733 Oak St. in Hood River on Monday, Nov. 17 at 9 a.m. The Hood River Shelter is staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and is open throughout the winter season until March 2026.

Warming Shelter placements are on a first-come, first-serve basis, and there is not a waitlist. Shelter guest intakes take place from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekdays throughout the season, as bed availability allows. Wraparound services for each client are engaged after initial intake paperwork is completed. For more information about available shelter beds or other emergency resources available during severe winter weather events, visit MCCAC’s Hood River Shelter page here and Severe Weather Resources page here.

MCCAC has updated the Severe Weather Resources page of our website with by-county information on shelter and other severe weather resources, including supply bundles distribution locations, transportation options, and other information.

Warming supplies are available at MCCAC offices Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to noon and 1-5 p.m.

MCCAC will operate an emergency shelter at The Gloria Center in The Dalles during severe weather events, as staffing and volunteer capacity allows. MCCAC staff monitor the weather forecast daily. When emergency shelter operations at The Gloria Center are activated, updates will be shared on the MCCAC website and Facebook page.

For those who need transportation to access a shelter, information about public transit schedules, routes, and dial-a-ride options in the Mid-Columbia region can be found here.

This work is possible due to community support, which takes multiple forms. Community members interested in donating supplies, volunteering, or making a financial contribution can reach out to MCCAC at info@mccac.com.
