Pluckemin Church Opens Doors as Cooling Center Amid Extreme Heat

With temperatures soaring near 100 degrees, Pluckemin Presbyterian Church is opening its facility as a community cooling center on Wednesday, June 25, from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

All are welcome to come inside and cool off in the church’s air-conditioned Fellowship Hall. Cold water and free ice pops will be available throughout the day.

“Offering a safe, comfortable space during this heat wave is one small way we can live out our mission to be a hub of caring in the community,” said Paul Gucker, a church Elder. “We hope this simple act of hospitality brings some relief and reminds people they are not alone.”

The church is located at 279 Route 202-206 in Pluckemin and is fully handicapped accessible.
