Free lunch for Seniors

For the health, safety and comfort of our residents, the Kern County Parks Department, in cooperation with the Department of Aging and Adult Services, other Kern County agencies and districts and PG&E, will open Cooling Centers throughout the County when temperatures are forecast by the National Weather Service (NWS) to exceed certain highs. Cooling Centers open in the San Joaquin and Kern River Valleys when the temperatures are forecast to be 105 degrees or higher, in the desert areas when temperatures are forecast to be 108 degrees or higher, and in Frazier Park when temperatures are forecast to be 95 degrees or higher.

The Centers are open from 1:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

The Cooling Centers Daily Report will be issued by 11:00 a.m. on the day before the Centers open. Weekend Cooling Center openings will be released by 11:00 a.m. on Friday.

Residents using the Cooling Centers are encouraged to bring their favorite reading material, games, etc. to better enjoy the Centers.
