Winter Warming Center Open House
Come tour Tedford Housing’s Winter Warming Center and see the space that provides warmth, safety, and connection for neighbors each night when temperatures plummet. This year, we’ve expanded our services to open four hours earlier—operating daily from 4:00 PM to 8:00 AM, November 15th through April 30th—and are now serving a hot meal every evening.
Join us to learn more about how this community effort helps ensure no one is left out in the cold.

Tedford's 4-Way Eggs & Potato Fundraiser
Join Tedford Housing Executive Director Andrew Lardie and longtime volunteer Lisa Parker for a cozy morning of egg and potato magic. Every week, Lisa brings warmth and her cooking skills to the 16 guests at Tedford’s adult shelter. Now she’s sharing her famous kitchen-sink deviled eggs and the secret behind her house-favorite fried potatoes. Watch Andrew flip a two-inch-tall Spanish tortilla and serve up perfect over-medium cheesy egg tacos. All of our cooks' creations are pay-what-you-can, so come hungry, stay for the fun, and leave room for a stocking stuffer. We’ll have our new Tedford logo caps, available in two beautiful styles available to purchase for holiday gifting!
