MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - With the Twin Cities under an Extreme Heat Warning until at least Tuesday, the Salvation Army is opening its Twin Cities service centers as cooling centers to help people stay safe.
Salvation Army cooling centers open during extreme heat
What we know:
The Salvation Army announced Sunday that all seven of its Twin Cities service centers will welcome anyone needing relief from the heat on Monday. The centers will be open during their normal business hours. High temperatures most of the week are expected to be in the low-to-mid 90s, and with humidity, heat indexes will be dangerously high.
The Salvation Army is encouraging anyone who needs a break from the heat to stop by one of the service centers. Staff will be on hand to provide a cool, safe space for the community.
