Upper Bucks Code Blue
Share
Our Upper Bucks Code Blue Sheltering Ministry, officially opened Dec. 1, 2013 after three years of development, provides warm shelter, food, and respectful overnight care for homeless people in Upper Bucks County during times of life-threatening cold weather (26 degrees Fahrenheit or below temps or wind chill). We partner with churches and other volunteer agencies and individuals in the Quakertown, Pennridge, and Palisades school districts to provide this ministry.
Greetings, everyone! Here’s our call for March 27-29, 2026:
After Thursday night’s and Friday morning’s rain, our weekend will be clearer but decidedly cooler. While Friday’s and Sunday’s highs will be in the 50s, Saturday’s high won’t even reach the mid-40s, and low temperatures Friday and Saturday night will be right on the boundary of our Code Blue threshold, and strong winds will drive wind chills both nights into the low 20s. Sunday night will be solidly above freezing, with calmer skies; but Friday and Saturday nights will be cold enough to bring folks in.
So our Code Blue Winter Emergency Shelter on the first floor of the Quakertown Masonic Lodge (501 W. Broad Street in Quakertown) will be OPEN Friday and Saturday nights, Mar. 27-28, with our doors open from 8:30-11:00 PM, but CLOSED Sunday night, Mar. 29.

Greetings, everyone! Here’s our call for March 18-19, 2026:
Wednesday‘s skies will be a little clearer and a lot calmer, with daytime temperatures in the upper 30s, but nighttime temperatures will be right at our Code Blue threshold. Thursday’s skies will be a little brighter, with highs approaching 50° and lows right around freezing under calm skies— just a bit too warm for Code Blue.
So our Code Blue Winter Emergency Shelter on the first floor of the Quakertown Masonic Lodge (501 W. Broad Street in Quakertown) will be OPEN Wednesday night, Mar. 18, with our doors open from 8:30-11:00 PM, but CLOSED Thursday night, Mar. 19.

Greetings, everyone! Here’s our call for March 12-15, 2026:
After a beautiful summer-like beginning of the week, a cold front will cross our region late Wednesday into Thursday morning, bringing us showers and perhaps even thunderstorms. In the wake of that front, it turns notably cooler Thursday afternoon, with nighttime temperatures falling into the mid-20s. (We may even see snow flurries Thursday night.) Temperatures will return to our seasonal average Friday and Saturday, with highs near 50° and lows in the low-to-mid 30s; then we’ll watch for scattered showers ahead of a cold front late Sunday. Sunday’s temperatures won’t vary much— our highs will be around 52° and lows around 44°-- but here’s a “heads-up” for next week: Our temperatures are projected to plummet during the day Monday, leaving us with seriously wintry temperatures Monday through Wednesday nights, likely in solid Code Blue territory. Stay tuned…
In the meantime, our Code Blue Winter Emergency Shelter on the first floor of the Quakertown Masonic Lodge (501 W. Broad Street in Quakertown) will be OPEN Thursday night, Mar. 12, with our doors open from 8:30-11:00 PM, but CLOSED Friday through Sunday nights, Mar. 13-15.
