After North Texas officially hit 100 degrees, The Salvation Army of North Texas opened a cooling and hydration station in Plano this week.
The locations provide hydration, food and shelter at locations in Dallas, Collin, Denton, Tarrant and Ellis counties.
In Plano, the Plano Corps Community Center, located at 3528 14th St., serves as a cooling and hydrating station. The location is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. when activated.
Each is activated when temperatures are forecasted to reach 100 degrees or higher for more than one day or a heat index of more than 105 degrees for more than two days in a row.
“We’re here with the goal of presenting relief from those excessive temperatures to our most prone acquaintances in want, whilst providing them with emotional and non secular care,” said Major Carolyn Webb, area commander of The Salvation Army of North Texas.
