FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Madison Home Extends Hours as Cooling Station Amid Central Kentucky Heat Wave
Madison County, Ky. —
Madison Home will extend its operating hours from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, Monday through Friday, to serve as a cooling station for Madison County residents in need as a heat wave impacts Central Kentucky.
Although Madison Home is ending its emergency staging and landing operations for flood victims, the organization had extended those emergency services an additional 24 hours and will continue providing support to those affected by recent flooding (ended 7:00 AM 6/29), while continuing to serve the homeless population.
Located at 105 Fifth Street, Richmond, KY 40475, Madison Home will provide a safe, air-conditioned space for anyone in need. Available resources include cold drinking water, shelter from the heat, and free T-shirts for those impacted by the flooding or experiencing hardship.
While Madison Home remains committed to serving the community, we encourage those looking to make a financial contribution to first support organizations working directly with families impacted by the flooding.
Please consider supporting our partners at Newby Country Store, who are providing direct assistance to flood victims:

Madison Home also continues its daily mission as Madison County’s largest and only homeless resource center operating without taxpayer funding.
Every meal served, every shower provided, every load of laundry washed, and every emergency response is made possible through neighbors helping neighbors.
