With heat expected to rise the end of this week, the City of Menifee would like to remind residents that it has partnered with the County of Riverside Community Action Partnership to offer a “Cool Center” at the Kay Ceniceros Senior Center in the City of Menifee. 

Cooling centers are air conditioned facilities, such as libraries, community centers, senior centers and other facilities that are FREE and OPEN to the public during heat emergencies. Cool Centers serve as drop-in sites for vulnerable individuals, seniors, the disabled, and others in need of temporary relief from the heat. The Kay Ceniceros Senior Center is located on 29995 Evans Rd. Menifee, CA 92586. 

“With the expected heat wave warning this week, and throughout the summer, it is important that our most vulnerable residents have a location to “cool off,” said Mayor Pro Tem Lesa Sobek. “It is collaborative efforts with organizations like the Community Action Partnership that really make a difference in the community.” 

Getting away from the heat in the summer can be difficult, but local cooling centers can really make a difference when you're on the run from a heat wave. For additional Cool Center locations, hours and tips on how to protect yourself from heat related illness, please call the Summer Energy Crisis Hotline at (888) 636-8676 or (951) 955-4900 or visit capriverside.org.
