What an incredible journey the Cooling Center has been! Whether you volunteered, contributed time or funds, visited, or supported us online by spreading the word, we want to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU on behalf of our neighbors.
The impact of the extended hours was undeniable— it was written on the faces of those who finished showering, sometimes for the third time in a week. We saw it in their gratitude as they received the afternoon snack, which for some was likely their last meal of the day. It was felt in the sense of calm and safety they experienced, knowing they were inside and away from the extreme heat.
While this may not have completely changed their situation, it made life a bit more bearable and dignified.
The Cooling Center Pilot project ended on September 30th but we are optimistic that this won’t be the last time Trinity Center can offer extra resources to the neighbors we care for.
