Cooling Kits To Replace Shelters This Summer

Washington Gorge Action Programs and Mid-Columbia Community Action are shifting away from opening cooling shelters during extreme hot temperatures this summer to distributing cooling kits to those who need them.  WAGAP Associate Director Jennifer Pauletto says their cooling shelters simply weren’t being used.  The cooling kits will include essential items like water, sunscreen, and other supplies as available, along with information to help explain what to do during a heat emergency.  Kits will be available at WAGAP and Mid-Columbia Community Action offices, at WAGAP’s Second Hand Rose thrift store in Bingen, and through other community organizations.  Outreach efforts to distribute the kits are also being planned.
