Klamath Falls, Oregon – As colder weather approaches Klamath Falls, a local organization is preparing to welcome people who need a warm place to stay. But before the Klamath Family Warming Center can reopen its doors, it needs something just as important as a heated building: volunteers willing to help.
The center is reaching out to the community with a simple message. Its next season of service is approaching, and residents who want to make a difference are encouraged to get involved.
The Klamath Family Warming Center (KFWC) recently issued a statement announcing that it is looking for volunteers ahead of its upcoming reopening. The organization is inviting both new applicants and people who have previously served at the center to participate.
“It’s almost time to open our doors again but we need your help! We would love for you to join us at the KFWC as we love our community,” the organization said in its announcement.

One important detail applies to everyone considering participation. Even individuals who have volunteered with the center in previous years must submit a new application.
Residents can complete the required paperwork through the center’s online volunteer application.
The organization has not provided a specific reopening date in its latest announcement, but its call for volunteers signals that preparations for the upcoming season are underway.
For Klamath Falls residents, the announcement also offers an opportunity to support a community resource during a time of year when cold temperatures can create additional challenges for people without adequate shelter.
Those who have questions about the volunteer process or the upcoming meeting can contact the Klamath Family Warming Center directly at (541) 887-2433. Additional information is available through Thrive at (541) 883-2286.
The center’s message emphasizes that community participation remains essential to its work. Beyond asking residents to volunteer, the organization expressed appreciation for the individuals who have already contributed their time and support.
“Thank you for serving, giving, and loving our community. We couldn’t do what we do without you,” the organization said.
With the November 12 meeting approaching, the center hopes to bring returning volunteers and new community members together as it prepares to open its doors once again.
