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. If people have nowhere to go, they can suffer from heat stroke, sun burns, and dehydration.” The Salvation Army encourages any visitors to the cooling center to see our social workers for help with their other basic needs. - Major Lisa Mueller, Corps Officer of the Rochester Salvation Army

Those were magical years, even if they were awkward as heck. Take your time, scroll slowly, and if you have a memory you'd like to share, just drop me an email: james.rabe@townsquaremedia.com.
