When the temperatures reach triple-digits, the Salvation Army provides cooling stations for people without air conditioning, homeless persons, and people who work outside. The locations are listed below:
Cooling Stations provide two necessary things for those at risk of heat exposure:
– Hydration – People should drink plenty of water when it’s excessively hot. Cold water will be available each day throughout the summer. With such scorching temperatures, it’s important for people to drink water before they get thirsty and to continue drinking throughout the day.
– A cool environment – Increasing the amount of time spent in air-conditioned environments helps the body cool off and lessens the likelihood of getting overheated. The Salvation Army’s Cooling Stations provide a cool environment where people can cool off for a brief time or stay all day.
These Cooling Stations will be open seven days a week, from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., and are located at:
