The Challenge

Got a big-hearted business, workplace, group, church, or community? Step up and join the Challenge to compete for your local pride in support of CNOY. Check the National Challengeboard to see more!

About Carbondale Warming Center

The Carbondale Warming Center was established to serve those who for whatever reason could not utilize the existing shelter structure. We started as a 12 hr 8pm-8am warming center; in March 2020, our Governor issued a shelter-at-home order during the pandemic. Our board of directors met and unanimously decided to be the place in our community to serve the unhoused during an uncertain time in our world. Since then we have served over 100,000 meals and served over 500 guests; 40% have moved on to a permanent housing situation. We currently provide a 24 hr shelter and an overnight program during the winter months 6pm-8am.
