Severe Weather Shelter Network: Evening Hosts

Severe Weather Shelter Network has 8 Host Sites providing emergency, overnight shelter on life threatening winter nights for individuals living on the streets. All the Host Sites are in the west metro Denver area.

Severe Weather Shelter Network is mobilized by overnight weather conditions. We only open when overnight tempartures are going to be 32 degrees or colder and wet, or 20 degrees or colder and dry.

Each Host Site has 7 teams, one for each night of the week. Host Sites work together in a rotation, in which each Host site is on call approximately one week each month between October 1st and April 30th.

The maximum number of times an Evening Host could serve would be 7 times each season, or approximately one night a month.

Evening Hosts are part of a team of 8 volunteers on nights when their teams are mobilized to welcome our homeless guests into the church and facilitate the nights activities.

Evening Hosts are on site to listen to our guests and help them get settled for the night. Evening Hosts enjoy dinner with our guests and go home after our guests are in bed for the night.

All team members arrive at the church at 6pm to set up the space and pray over the building and our guests.

Evening Hosts are required to attend a 4-hour volunteer training in their first season.
