With temperatures reaching over 100 degrees this week, The Salvation Army has opened a cooling station at their Community Services Center, 1306 SW E.
The cooling station is open from 1-9 p.m. on days with a heat advisory or warning, or when temperatures reach over 98 degrees. The cooling station is open for everyone who needs relief from the extreme heat, according to a release. The Community Services Center is located on Southwest E Avenue, between Southwest 13th Street and Southwest 14th Street.
“Our mission is to meet human need whenever the need arises. The Salvation Army remains ready to serve our neighbors,” Maj. Raymond N. Pruitt, Lawton corps officer, said in the release.
Residents can help The Salvation Army by donating non-perishable food items. Items can be dropped off at the Community Services Center or at The Salvation Army’s thrift store, 1404 SW E.
Monetary gifts are accepted at any Lawton location, by calling 800-SAL-ARMY and at ww.SalvationArmyLawton.org.
