Clarksville's Emergency Warming Shelter - The White Flag
When temperatures drop, our efforts in tandem with Canopy Initiative partners ensure that everyone in our community has a safe, warm place to stay.
Our Emergency Warming Shelter activates when there are three or more consecutive days with temperatures below 35°F. During these times, we partner with local faith and service organizations to provide overnight shelter and support. These locations offer warm shelter, meals, and compassionate care for individuals and families in need during severe cold weather.
For updates on activation status, please follow our Emergency Warming Shelter Facebook Page or contact Clarksville Area Urban Ministries at (931) 648-9090

When the Emergency Warming Shelter opens, we rely on caring community members like you to help keep our neighbors safe and warm. Volunteers assist with check-ins, meal service, setup, cleanup, and monitoring guests.
If you’d like to volunteer at the Clarksville Area Urban Ministries location for men, please register through our Civic Champs platform by clicking the button below. This helps us organize shifts, track hours, and stay in touch with you when the shelter is activated.
Your time and compassion make a real difference when temperatures drop.
