Mid-Columbia Houseless Collaborative partners will have free cooling kits available for houseless residents. Cooling bundles may vary slightly at the various locations depending on available supplies, but they will generally contain cooling cloths, handheld fans, reusable water bottles, water and Gatorade, sunscreen, chapstick, snacks, and information about heat emergencies and how to avoid them. In Oregon, the free kits are available at Mid-Columbia Community Action’s office at 606 State Street Suite 1B in Hood River, the Gloria Navigation Center at 2505 W 7th Street in The Dalles, and through the Office of Emergency Management in Sherman County that is available by phone at 541-565-3100. In Washington, free kits are available at all Washington Gorge Action Programs offices in Stevenson, Bingen, and Goldendale. They are also available at Second Hand Rose WAGAP’s community thrift store in Bingen, and libraries in Stevenson and Goldendale.
