Tell Me More About the Rochester Salvation Army Cooling Center

If you are needing a place to cool off or know someone who could use assistance, the Salvation Army Cooling Center is open from 8 am until 4 pm at 115 First Avenue NE in Rochester, Minnesota.

“In the winter time, we worry about people being exposed to long periods of cold, but heat can be just as dangerous.
