Every winter, Community Partnership of the Ozarks partners with overnight Crisis Cold Weather Shelters in our community to provide additional emergency shelter beds.
Community Partnership of the Ozarks shares Crisis Cold Weather Shelters save lives and would not be possible without the dedication of the host sites themselves, countless community volunteers who compassionately give of their time, and other partners like the City of Springfield and City Utilities of Springfield.
See below a list of Crisis Cold Weather Shelter Sites through Community Partnership of the Ozarks.
The decision to open the Crisis Cold Weather Shelters is made daily by 2 p.m. To find out if Crisis Cold Weather Shelters will be open, call the Crisis Cold Weather Shelters Direct line at 417-290-3110.
