The Lincoln Center is a project of Homeless Helping Homeless that is operated in conjunction with our volunteers, staff members, & supporters.

Individuals experiencing homelessness are some of the most oppressed individuals within our society.

The Lincoln Warming Center was created to specifically act as a resource to all those experiencing homelessness. We are working to build a center that can act as a refuge for individuals during times when the weather is inclement or when otherwise needing respite from the stress of surviving without the basic necessities in life. Our center is a point of outreach & support for individuals experiencing homelessness or extreme poverty.

We are a 501(c)3 non-profit and will attempt to mediate any immediate need within our organization’s means. Within our center we operate a 24/7 community snack bar available to our visitors and guests which features fresh water, hot coffee, an assortment of snacks, & meals each day to our guests and others in need. We also have resources available for guests to use to contact potential employers and housing opportunities, such as wi-fi, computers, and phones. We have televisions to help our visitors pass the time through entertainment, gaming, or otherwise.

Our center is conveniently located on Lincoln Avenue just West of Highway 10. We sit along Metro Bus route 6 (to Transit Center), & are located South of the Eastern St. Cloud Cash Wise Foods, Arby’s & Runnings. We sit North of the Lincoln Depot & are located directly across the street from the First Fuel Bank. We are directly adjacent to the East Side Oil Company & Townsquare Media.

We encourage all visitors & guests to ask staff questions or for resources as needed.

We provide temporary refuge to individuals at risk during the harshest weather conditions. We work to serve all those who enter through our doors, be they locally-based or are simply passing through the area.

Emergency Refuge

We allow for other visitors seeking immediate respite from the elements into our center and work to ensure that no individual or family to be left out during times of weather extremes.
