North Texas is experiencing some very dangrous temperatures outside, so the Salvation Army is doing what it can to help.
In partnership with Reliant Energy, the Salvation Army will offer cooling stations to provide heat relief to vulnerable neighbors as high temperatures continue to rise across the five-county region.
This year, the organization will offer a hybrid model with some locations providing outdoor cooling stations, while others will offer curbside pick-up for bottled water and box fans as part of its food pantry service.
They will also mobilize emergency disaster feeding units (canteens) across the region.
The following service locations will provide heat relief to the public:
Arlington: 712 W. Abram Street
Denton: 1508 E. McKinney Street
Garland: 451 W. Avenue Dr
Irving: 250 E. Grauwyler Road
Lewisville: 206 W. Main Street
McKinney: 600 Wilson Creek Parkway
Oak Cliff: 1617 W. Jefferson Boulevard
Plano: 3528 E. 14th Street
Pleasant Grove: 8341 Elam Road
Waxahachie: 620 Farley Street
Since the beginning of the pandemic, The Salvation Army of North Texas has served more than 6.75 million meals, provided nearly 475,000 nights of shelter and housing to the regions most vulnerable.
