​On the evening of December 9th, 2013, Mr. Hanshaw, a homeless man, suffocated to death becoming trapped in the Salvation Army Clothing Drop while looking for warm clothing and shelter from the cold...

​We resolved to never let this happen again!

The Cumberland County Code Blue Coalition was created to provide "Warming Centers" as a way for homeless persons in the community to find shelter from frigid overnight temperatures during the cold winter months. Code Blue is a grassroots movement of churches and community members responding to the needs of our homeless neighbors.

Code Blue is funded by community contributions made to the M25 Initiative (501c3). 

A "Code Blue" is initiated by the Cumberland County Office of Emergency Management when temperatures are 32 degrees with precipitation or 25 degrees without precipitation. Warming Centers are housed by host churches on a rotating basis from 6 PM to 6 AM. The Code Blue Season runs from November-April 15.

Note: While the County OEM may declare a Code Blue, volunteer Warming Centers may not be able to open with less than 54-hour notice due to logistical concerns.

Thank you to our 2018-2019 M25 Sponsors!
