FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO) — Fort Wayne’s Winter Contingency Plan is once again in effect, offering expanded shelter and warming options for people in need during the colder months. The plan’s overnight shelter services will operate from Dec. 1, 2025, through March 31, 2026. Warming stations may open earlier if weather conditions warrant. People seeking overnight shelter have three primary options: The Rescue Mission at 404 E. Washington Blvd.; St. Joseph Missions Women’s Shelter at 3505 Lake Ave.; and Just Neighbors at 2925 E.
