It started as drop-in center for lonely adults in 1974, and in the early '80s began offering one meal a day to the hungry, homeless and disadvantaged. Today, it is a vital community ministry that serves more than 12,000 meals annually. In cooperation with St. Bonaventure, the Warming House is open six days per week year-round and has a support team of more than 300 student volunteers and some 100 community members.
