Cooling Center

 The Carbondale Warming Center has opened as the Cooling center for those needing respite from the heat. No word as to whether the Civic Center will also open as a cooling center next week

As we approach high heat indexes this weekend, we wanted to remind our community that the Carbondale Warming Center, located at 608 E College Street, is available for those who need reprieve from the heat.
The lobby will be open for individuals to rest inside an air conditioned space and water and Gatorade will be available for free. No public restroom is available to those walking in for temporary cooling relief.

Individuals may still register as guests to stay at the Carbondale Warming Center facilities where they will have full access amenities including the restroom and shower. Spaces are more limited during the summer due to the upstairs overflow space being unavailable at this time.

Donations are always welcomed and encouraged for the Carbondale Warming Center. At this time they are seeking bags of ice, water, and snacks (especially cooling ones such as popsicles). The Carbondale Warming Center is staffed 24/7. Doors are locked for security purposes at 10:30 PM and re-opened at 6 AM.
