DALLAS - Summer in Dallas is known for its sweltering heat, and to help residents stay cool in the city, Dallas is partnering with Reliant to ensure everyone has a safe summer.
Residents who need help keeping cool will be able to receive portable ACs and coolers. This is made possible by a program offered by the City of Dallas and Reliant called Beat the Heat, which has been serving the Dallas community for 12 years.
In addition, this program also provides financial assistance to residents who need help paying electrical bills during the summer.
Portable ACs and coolers will be given out at West Dallas Multipurpose Center, located at 2828 Fish Trap Rd., and the MLK Jr. Community Center, located at 2922 MLK Blvd.
Resources are limited, so register now by contacting West Dallas Multipurpose Center at 214-670-6341 or MLK Jr. Community Center at 214-670-8418.
The first distribution will be between 10 a.m. and noon on Thursday, July 22 at the MLK Jr. Community Center, located at 2922 MLK Blvd. Registration is required.
