THE SALVATION ARMY MIDLAND DIVISION OPENS COOLING CENTERS TO BATTLE SUMMER HEAT

Jun 13, 2022

The Salvation Army Midland Division is dedicated to the protection of our staff members and the clients we serve.

As summer temperatures have started to soar, it has opened daytime cooling centers in Missouri and Illinois, with hydration, snacks, meals and overnight shelters at select locations.

Overheating is a leading cause of weather-related deaths. Nearly all of them occur during summer and late spring. They disproportionately affect men and people older than 45.

The Salvation Army Corps will operate cooling centers in collaboration with local coalitions. A Corps is one of The Salvation Army’s worship centers. The locations and hours of the cooling centers are listed below.
