Wrapping Arms 'Round Many (WARM)

The Wrapping Arms ‘Round Many (WARM) program is a partnership between the faith community, local human service agencies, and citizens to provide safe shelter and hot meals to unhoused citizens during the coldest months of the year. The first WARM season took place in October 2009 and has become very successful with over 50 churches currently working together to provide food and shelter.

WARM operates in close partnership with numerous stakeholders, including: the Department of Aging & Human Services, the Department of Public Works & Transportation, St. Mary's County Sheriff's Office, the St. Mary’s County Department of Social Services, Pyramid Walden, Three Oaks Center, and MedStar St. Mary's Hospital.

This year’s WARM program runs Sunday, Nov. 10, 2024 - Monday, March 27, 2025.

We are always looking for volunteer drivers for the WARM Program!

Drivers must be 18 years of age or older and have a valid driver's license.
Volunteers will utilize a county-owned van.
Volunteer slots are open seven days per week while WARM is operational.
Volunteer drivers are divided into an evening and a morning shift: evening drivers pick up WARM guests at Church of Ascension at 5:30 p.m. for transportation to the selected host site for the evening and morning drivers arrive at the host site by 7 a.m. the next morning to transport guests back to Church of Ascension.

For more information or to volunteer, contact Ursula Harris at 301-475-4200, ext. 1658, or at [email protected].
