The Overnight Warming Facility opens in extreme cold weather for area residents experiencing homelessness or currently without adequate heat or running water.

When temperatures remain at 25 degrees and lower in the overnight/PM hours, staff mobilize volunteers to staff the facility from 4:30 pm overnight until 8 am the next day.

Announcements are made on The Community House Facebook page, and on local news stations. Yard signs are also posted near the facility in downtown Jamestown, TN.

The facility operates out of  First Baptist Jamestown’s Family Life Center at 306 East Central Avenue in Jamestown (next to city hall, and across from Sonic and O’Reilly’s).

The Center is open to the homeless and residents-in-need in Jamestown and Fentress County.
