You Can Help Provide Shelter to Those in Need

Join me in supporting real change. Out of the Cold Needs our Support to Sustain and Expand their Services to the State College Community. Let’s support good in the world and make a difference!

As a low barrier shelter, Out of the Cold believes that shelter is a basic human right. Therefore, they strive to provide shelter to anyone who needs it! In addition to shelter, meals, laundry, and showers, Out of the Cold provides strength based case management to help guests live independent, fulfilling and successful lives! Out of the Cold serves some of our community's most vulnerable people: people who are aging, people with disabilities, people who struggle with mental health and addiction, etc.

Despite serving over 30 people a night through shelter and their transitional housing, Out of the Cold always has a waiting list. This year, they served as our county's only code blue shelter. When temperatures reached below a real feel of 25 degrees, any person needing shelter was welcomed into their community room. They served an additional 10 - 15 guests during each code blue night.

As a volunteer at Centre Helps, I regularly interact with vulnerable populations and provide Out of the Cold as a resource to those in need of shelter. I see the important work and life-saving care that Out of the Cold is able to provide to the community. Shelter is a basic human right that everyone should have access to.

Out of the Cold desires to expand their services to the community but they need your support to do that! Please consider supporting us during Sleep Out Weekend! Just a small donation will go a long way to helping me meet my goal for Out of the Cold Centre County
