The Aurora Winter Warming Shelter which is operated by Becoming Church, is a vital lifeline for our neighbors experiencing homelessness. Located at 712 S River St, we open during dangerous winter weather to provide warmth, safety, compassion, and community.

But the need doesn't stop at a 32-degree threshold, and we don't want our compassion to depend on the forecast. We must diversify our funding to be able to open our doors to be able to meet the arising needs of our vulnerable neighbors.

Community-powered support gives us the flexibility to:

Open on dangerously cold nights even when temperatures don't meet the 32° requirement
Offer practical help like phone access, transportation, and basic necessities
Increase capacity and provide hospitality that honors the dignity of every guest
Strengthen sustainability so we can serve whenever the need arises... not just when thresholds are met

Becoming Church is committed to serving the Aurora community with integrity, compassion, and transparency. Your contribution empowers us to respond immediately and meaningfully. Thank you for supporting this work. Together, we can ensure that no one in our area faces the cold alone.
