La Crosse Warming Center

The La Crosse – Warming Center has helped many people, for example, a young man born and raised in Holmen. He loved the outdoors but never imagined he would be living there. Ongoing mental health struggles made it hard for him to keep a job, eventually leading him to our La Crosse Warming Center. While staying with us, he saw a flyer for local mental health services for low-income individuals. After encouragement from our staff, he connected with a mental health professional, started medication, and now feels more at peace. He is actively looking for a job and hopes to have a place of his own by the next holiday season. This is a ministry of the Diocese of La Crosse.
