To help those without reliable cooling, Randy Sam’s Outreach Center and the Salvation Army are operating as daytime cooling stations. Salvation Army Captain Juan Gomez says the service isn’t just for the homeless—it also helps those living without air conditioning.
The extended heat wave has stretched both shelters’ resources. Donations are needed: Randy Sam’s is seeking bottled water and hygiene items, while the Salvation Army is asking for financial support.
