Churches Cool the Heat in Gilbert | Phoenix News

When the heat becomes unbearable, Gilbert’s community is stepping up—partnering with four local churches to offer air-conditioned havens, hydration, and rest for those most vulnerable. With no dedicated heat relief center of its own, this initiative fills a critical gap, turning churches into lifelines. One man called it a “stepping stone” to rebuilding his life; another said it kept her from sleeping outside. The Greenfield Stake of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints sees it as a natural response to Arizona’s brutal heat—and hopes others will join. It’s more than cooling off—it’s community, compassion, and proof that together, we can make a real difference. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
