Aurora Warms the Night is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that seeks to preserve the life, health and stability of Aurora's men, women, and children facing homelessness. Founded in 2006, AWTN started by a group of Aurora citizens as a way to provide shelter in the winter for Aurora's homeless. Located in original Aurora near the Colfax corridor...

Year round services include meals, food kits, warm clothing, hygiene items, transportation to shelter, laundry vouchers, bus passes, partner agency referrals, and advocacy. We operate these services in order to ensure families and individuals meet their most basic needs, learn new skills, and access resources to transition out of homelessness. By partnering with providers, we are helping to break the cycle of homelessness through comprehensive services. Our partner provider services are located onsite in our building and include mental health services, health care clinics, workforce education for clients including resume writing, interviewing skills, job coaching assistance, food stamp, SSI, and SSDI application assistance; and veterans' services.
