||| FROM ALICIA WIGFIELD for  ORCAS ISLAND COMMUNITY CHURCH |||


As the colder months approach, the Severe Weather Shelter at Orcas Island Community Church is preparing to open its doors once again — offering a safe, warm place for those in need during dangerously cold nights.

We’re looking for volunteers to help make this vital ministry possible. Whether you can stay overnight, help with setup, provide meals, or assist with coordination, every helping hand makes a difference.

Join us for a Volunteer Meeting on

Monday, November 17, 2025,  6:30pm
 Fellowship Hall at OICC

At this meeting, we’ll go over shelter operations, volunteer roles, and how you can get involved this season.

Your time and compassion can bring warmth and hope to our community this winter.

Please join us!

If you joined the last meeting please attend this meeting as well. We’d like to get all volunteer’s to be here if possible.
