Need to cool down? Here’s a list of cooling centers open across the city to help you stay safe during extreme heat.

⚠️ Important: Locations and hours may change due to weather, holidays, or power outages. Call ahead or dial 2-1-1 to confirm availability.

✅ Heat Safety Tips:

Stay hydrated and avoid strenuous activity during peak heat hours.

Never leave children or pets in parked cars.

Check on elderly neighbors, those with medical conditions, or anyone who may be especially vulnerable to the heat.

Use fans, take cool showers, and close curtains during the hottest part of the day.

Thank you to the Grand Rapids Area Coalition to End Homelessness for sharing this important resource. 💙

We tell kids to be the light.
But sometimes, they need to see what that looks like—in us.

Not in big, dramatic moments…
But in small, quiet choices:
✅ Owning a mistake
✅ Comforting someone who’s struggling
✅ Choosing kindness over being right

That’s the kind of light that changes a room, without needing a spotlight.
