As the Valley experiences a historically hot summer, the city of Scottsdale is extending its Day Relief Center hours to provide those who need respite with a cool place to rest, meals, water, showers and navigation for additional services.
Scottsdale’s human services and police departments have partnered to extend the hours at two city relief centers.
The extended hours will run through the end of September:
11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Mondays at South Scottsdale Presbyterian Church, 3421 N. Hayden Road;
10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sundays; and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday-Friday, at Vista del Camino Community Center, 7700 E. Roosevelt Drive.
Hydration stations, offering drinking fountains and/or free bottled water, are available at the Granite Reef and Via Linda senior centers, Vista del Camino Community Center and Paiute Neighborhood Center.
Cooling stations that provide refuge from the heat are available at all four city libraries: Appaloosa, Arabian, Civic Center and Mustang.
People can stay in these stations during regular business hours.
