A Beacon of Hope in the Cold
When Durango's winter nights turn extreme, a coalition of community partners makes sure no one is left out in the cold.
Founded in 2024 by concerned citizens, the Emergency Warming Center Council (EWCC) brought together Neighbors in Need Alliance, Manna, The Durango Soup Kitchen, and the American Red Cross to turn the coldest nights into safe ones. We are especially grateful to Sacred Heart Catholic Church for opening their Parish Hall to us, and to the Durango City Council, city manager, and city staff, whose support made the Emergency Warming Center possible.
On the nights it mattered most, we offered more than shelter. We offered hope.
Housewarming Love helps individuals transitioning into Permanent Supportive Housing by providing essential items like kitchen supplies and bed and bath linens to ensure they feel supported and cared for. Through community donations, it helps to transform empty apartments into welcoming homes, reminding recipients that they are seen and valued.

Laundry Love
Laundry Love washes the clothes and bedding of low/no income families and person(s) across the US. We brighten the lives of thousands of people through love, dignity, and detergent by partnering with diverse groups and laundromats nationwide.
Here in Durango, the Neighbors in Need Interfaith Alliance has partnered with NINA and Manna to staff and support this program every third Wednesday of each month at the North Main Laundry. Interested parties can register for this service at the Resource Center at Manna.
