Salvation Army offers heat relief

By GAZETTE STAFF Thursday, June 28, 2012

Those needing refuge from the heat are invited to visit The Salvation Army, 514 Sutherland Ave., Janesville.

The community center will be open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily, except Saturday. People can come in and sit in the cool building, have access to ice water and eat a free meal on those days.

Any time the thermometer goes above 90 degrees, the Salvation Army opens its doors to the public, said Maj. Ruth Fay.

A free lunch will be served weekdays and a complimentary breakfast is served Sundays.
