Fighting high temperatures with Heat Relief Image

Fighting high temperatures with Heat Relief

Diligent to our mission, The Salvation Army of North Texas provides holistic service aimed at meeting several of the community's needs during the summer months.

The Salvation Army of North Texas activates heat relief services each year across the region as soon as temperatures rise

Heat-related illness are a real threat in our community, especially for vulnerable communities such as seniors, the very young, people with chronic diseases, and those experiencing homelessness and poverty. This summer, The Salvation Army is offering relief to as many community members as possible through emergency assistance, heat relief resources, financial assistance, and other programs aimed at long-term stability in Dallas, Collin, Denton, Tarrant, Ellis, and Rockwall counties.

 

Cooling Station Locations

Each location follows guidelines by the city and the county; exact protocols may vary. North Texas Area Command has established a threshold for activating heat relief services, which relies on a forecast of 100 degrees or higher, usually for more than one day, or if there’s a heat index of more than 105 degrees for over two days in a row.

Additional Heat Relief Services

Depending on the unique needs of each North Texas community, we're also providing relief by:

  • Distributing boxed fans and water bottles through drive-thru food pantries at select locations

  • Checking in on elderly or other vulnerable individuals in affected communities

  • Utilizing emergency disaster mobile feeding units (canteens) to bring relief to vulnerable populations

  • Providing financial assistance for families experiencing lost wages who may be at risk of having their utilities shut off

Each week, The Salvation Army of North Texas feeds 10,000 people through its 12 food pantries, treats 500 people through its three recovery programs, and houses 1,300 people through its six shelters and senior living centers. The need for support from our generous neighbors is at an all-time high. If you're able, consider making a donation to help us continue our relief efforts.
