🌡️ Cooling Center Open Around the Clock — For As Long As the Heat Persists

With heat indices remaining dangerously high, Waterfront Rescue Mission’s Day Center will remain open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week as a cooling center for as long as these extreme heat conditions continue.

This is a temporary measure to help our community stay safe during this period of dangerous heat. Once heat indices return to safer levels, the Day Center will return to its regular schedule.

If you or someone you know needs a safe, cool place to escape the extreme temperatures, please come in and take advantage of this resource.

Please continue to check on neighbors, friends, and loved ones—especially those who are most vulnerable to extreme heat. Stay hydrated, stay cool, and stay safe.
