Wrapping Arms 'Round Many (WARM)

The Wrapping Arms ‘Round Many (WARM) program is a partnership between the faith community, local human service agencies, and citizens to provide safe shelter and hot meals to unhoused citizens during the coldest months of the year. The first WARM season took place in October 2009 and has become very successful with over 50 churches currently working together to provide food and shelter.

WARM operates in close partnership with numerous stakeholders, including: the Department of Aging & Human Services, the Department of Public Works & Transportation, St. Mary's County Sheriff's Office, the St. Mary’s County Department of Social Services, Pyramid Walden, Three Oaks Center, MedStar St. Mary's Hospital, local churches, and volunteers.

This year’s WARM program begins on Sunday, Nov. 9, 2025 and ends on Monday, March 23, 2026.

We are always looking for volunteer drivers for the WARM Program!

Drivers must be 18 years of age or older and have a valid driver's license.
Volunteers will utilize a county-owned van.
Volunteer slots are open seven days per week while WARM is operational.
Volunteer drivers are divided into evening and morning shifts. Evening drivers pick up WARM guests at the Church of the Ascension on Great Mills Road at 5:30 p.m. and transport them to the church serving as the designated host site for the evening. Morning drivers arrive at the host site no later than 7:00 a.m. the following morning to transport guests back to the Church of the Ascension. WARM vans are parked at the Three Oaks Center on Lei Drive, Lexington Park, MD
