People's City Mission helps people keep cool in extreme temps
So far the Mission has not had to turn anyone away and they hope to keep it that way because temperatures like Wednesday's can be deadly for those without shelter.
Some water and shade are helping Ave and Maria to keep cool. The two women have been staying at the People's City Mission for some time now and are even more thankful for its services on these hot summer days.
"They help you a lot with whatever you need. They try to do their best," said Maria.
Like the other 300 plus people staying at the Mission, there's no where else for them to go. Already over maximum capacity, the Mission pulls out extra cots and blankets to make room for more.
