Mid-Columbia Community Action says the Gloria Center’s Emergency Shelter will be open as a Cooling Shelter this weekend due to the expected extreme heat. The shelter at 2505 West 7th in The Dalles will be open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Cooling Shelter operations are led by Community Action staff and supported by community volunteers. Supports provided include a cool location, water, snacks, hygiene, and first aid items. For details on Cooling Shelter operations visit mccac.com. Community Action is also accepting donations of supply items for the Cooling Shelter, including Gatorade, shelf-stable snack items, lip balm, and sunscreen. Supply donations may be dropped off to The Gloria Center during Cooling Center operations hours or regular business hours.
