Christian Care's Rescue Mission is helping people who need a place to cool down during this brutal heat. Anyone is welcome at the Rescue Mission between the hours of 6:30 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. It's located at 2209 3rd Avenue in Rock Island.

"We welcome anyone who needs to come in from the heat, especially during these periods when the temperature heat index reaches 100 degrees. Our primary desire is to care for those who are less fortunate and who need help," Dr. Elaine Winter, the organization's executive director said.

The Rescue Mission will remain as a cooling center throughout the summer.
