We open the overnight shelter when the National Weather Service forecasts a wind chill of 32°F or less with a standing 20% chance of precipitation, or 28°F or less with no precipitation. We also open during winter storms. The NWS forecast often differs from local TV forecasts, so check the status on our home page.
What we provide
- Cots and blankets
- Boxed and bagged meals and snacks
- Warm clothing when available
- Friendly volunteers
Cooling Station (summer)
A cool place to rest on the hottest afternoons.
When we open
Monday through Friday, 1:00–5:00 PM, on days when the National Weather Service forecasts a heat index of 100°F or higher. Guests are welcome to come inside, stay cool, and enjoy water and snacks.

On Tuesdays during cooling season, our partner New Liberty Baptist Church hosts the Table 25 Community Potluck at 409 Candlewood Ln., Garland, 1:00–7:00 PM. A bus picks up at the downtown Garland DART station at 5:00 PM. newliberty.com/potluck
