(WHTM) - If you're looking to beat the heat, several local communities are offering cooling centers.
Libraries and senior centers also often open their doors as cooling centers. The Community Cares Shelter in Carlisle does as well and organizers say they've had a lot of visitors.
"We definitely every day have a good number of people that stop in, stay in for a little, get some water or something just to kinda cool themselves off, maybe even grab a shower to kinda help them through the day," said Beth Kempf, Executive Director for Community Cares Homeless Services.
Hope Ministries also offers cooling centers in Mechanicsburg, Enola, and Lemoyne.
