Las Vegas, NV (NV) – Las Vegas will be seeing its first major heat wave of the season this week, and because of that, the Salvation Army of Southern Nevada has opened its doors for their Day Shelter and Cooling Station.
The Day Shelter and Cooling Station, located at 35 W. Owens Avenue (between I-15 and Main St) will be open daily from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Visitors will be able to take showers, do laundry, and stay hydrated.
The Salvation Army expects that they will serve around 150 people a day, but will be able to help up to 300.
With bottled water in very short supply, the Salvation Army is asking for donations from the public. You can bring cases and pallets of water to the Day Shelter and Cooling Station between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m any day of the week.
