Warm Room in South Lake Tahoe opens on Christmas Eve

There will be two homes for the Warm Room this winter, and the first one opens on Christmas Eve at 7:00 p.m.

From December 24 - December 31, 7:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m., the Tahoe Coalition for the Homeless (TCH) will open the Warm Room at the Lake Tahoe Community Presbyterian Church located at 2733 Lake Tahoe Boulevard. Access to the room will be through the lower parking lot in the back of the church, not through the front door.

"We appreciate the support of the local faith community for rallying behind our common missions of service," said the Coalition.

Starting January 1, 2018 and going through April 1, 2018, the Warm Room is expected to operate at another location. The location will be announced once the lease if finalized but a City of South Lake Tahoe owned property on Rufus Allen Boulevard has been talked about.

“We are also celebrating receiving funding from El Dorado Community Foundation’s Veterans Mini-Grant and South Lake Tahoe Endowment grants,” said Nicole Zaborsky, board member of TCH. The funds from the Veterans Mini-Grant will support operations of our shelter. The South Lake Tahoe Endowment will help support a program of “Coordinated Entry”, a county-wide effort to improve efficiency of local crisis response systems and improve fairness and ease of access to resources.

TCH is a 501(c)3 charitable organization. Donations are welcomed to aid in funding the Warm Room 2017/2018 season.
