CARBONDALE –
As we approach high heat indexes this weekend, we wanted to remind our community that the
Carbondale Warming Center, located at 608 E College Street, is available for those who need reprieve
from the heat.
The lobby will be open for individuals to rest inside an air conditioned space and water and Gatorade will
be available for free. No public restroom is available to those walking in for temporary cooling relief.
Individuals may still register as guests to stay at the Carbondale Warming Center facilities where they
will have full access amenities including the restroom and shower. Spaces are more limited during the
summer due to the upstairs overflow space being unavailable at this time.
Donations are always welcomed and encouraged for the Carbondale Warming Center. At this time they
are seeking bags of ice, water, and snacks (especially cooling ones such as popsicles).
The Carbondale Warming Center is staffed 24/7. Doors are locked for security purposes at 10:30 PM and
re-opened at 6 AM.
You can contact the Carbondale Warming Center at 314-312-2539.
For further information and questions contact Public Relations Officer at 618-713-0711.
