“Salvation Army officers, staff and volunteers will also take water to those in need around their neighborhoods.”
These heat relief stations will be open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. June 14-16 and on any day the National Weather Service has issued or extended an extreme heat warning from May through September – including weekends, but excluding federal holidays (such as Juneteenth or July 4):
