Guilford County opens cooling stations as dangerous heat builds
Cooling stations are listed at seven partner sites in Greensboro and High Point, from Glenwood Together to Salvation Army of High Point, as Guilford County warns of dangerous heat.
Seven partner cooling stations in Greensboro and High Point are on Guilford County's June 10 "Heat Safety Tips and Cooling Stations Information" list as temperatures climb. Guilford County is sharing the locations and hours, not operating the centers itself, so residents need to go to the partner sites for relief from the heat.
In Greensboro, Glenwood Together at 1310 Glenwood Ave. is listed Tuesday through Thursday from noon to 5 p.m. The Interactive Resource Center at 407 E. Washington St. is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and the Tiny House Community Development HOPE Center at 360 W. Gate City Blvd. is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to noon.
High Point’s list includes Oakwood Day Center at 2018 W. Green Dr., open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.; Open Door Ministries at 400 N. Centennial St., open Monday through Saturday from 1 to 4 p.m.; Salvation Army of High Point at 301 W. Green Dr., open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to noon and again from 1 to 5 p.m.; and Triad Health Project at 501 W. Westwood Ave., open Tuesday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The heat-safety tips are for older adults, people without reliable air conditioning, outdoor workers, families with young children and anyone whose health can worsen in high heat and humidity. They are most likely to run into dehydration, heat exhaustion or heat stroke after several hours outside, on a bus stop bench, or in a home that traps heat fast. Drink water, take frequent breaks, check on neighbors, keep children and pets out of hot cars, and know the signs of heat illness.
Guilford County used the same approach in June 2025. Greensboro also maintains a standing city page for cooling services during extreme heat.
