This is the perfect time to remind our community that the city of Surprise is a Heat Relief Network partner, providing hydration and indoor refuge stations for those in need of a place to cool off during the hot summer months.
The Heat Relief Network is a support network of service providers, faith-based groups, municipalities, businesses and caring citizens mobilizing to provide help to people in need.
Designated stations offer indoor refuge from heat during the day, as well as drinking fountains or bottled water. One of these hydration stations is located at the Surprise Resource Center, 12425 W Bell Road Building A Suite 124.
Cooling centers can be found at the following Surprise locations:
