Catholic Charities Daytime Shelter

Begins: January 2022
Hours: 7:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
Days open: Seven days a week

Catholic Charities is putting the final touches on our annual Winter Warming Station, scheduled to open in January, as Pittsburgh prepares for the cold.

Every year, those with nowhere else to go risk their lives by staying outdoors. We know that prolonged exposure to even mild temperatures can lead to life-threatening hypothermia. We also know that in the Pittsburgh region no neighbor should have to face that possibility.

Our team will offer our guests a safe place during the day to shelter from winter weather, and we’ll offer coffee and a bite to eat. We’re also looking forward to the positive opportunities to make connections with those ready to make changes to come in out of the cold permanently.

How to help
