ALTON - Temperatures might have cooled this week, but the Salvation Army branch in Alton will operate as a cooling center if they spike again. The Salvation Army, located at 525 Alby Street, has several programs for community members. Captain Cassy Grey explained that the building remains open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. when temperatures are above 85 degrees, so people can cool off.
