Thankful for Our 2024 WARM Leaders & Volunteers!

WARM (Wrapping Arms 'Round Many) is a faith-based, ecumenical effort providing safe and warm shelter for those in need during the winter months in St. Mary’s County. During the week of March 3rd–10th, Patuxent Presbyterian Church hosted an average of 12 guests per night. Our 111 volunteers rallied together to make our church a WARM, welcoming place for our guests by helping in one or more of the following ways: set-up; clean-up; hospitality check-in; guest relations; daily cleaning of restrooms; overnight monitoring; breakfast and dinner food prep, cooking, and serving; prepping and packing to-go lunches; playing music; emergency laundry.

Many thanks to the following for sharing the love of Jesus Christ and building bridges with people in our local community – and with each other:
