Not everyone in Dallas-Fort Worth has a place to cool off as North Texas sees dangerously hot temperatures.
At Dallas' Klyde Warren Park, visitors took their lunch break at shaded tables and picnicked under shade trees, while young children danced with water fountains in the splash pads.
"I wasn't expecting to get wet, but you know, we do it for the kids," Darielle McDuffie said after running through the fountains as his 5-year-old son Darielle McDuffie II smiled ear-to-ear."It's a great feeling. Almost like a high I would say. It feels really good to see my son have fun.""Being outside is no place to be on a day like today," Our Calling Director of Development Juliana Williams said.
That's why Our Calling in Dallas kept its doors open a couple of hours late on Thursday, giving people experiencing homelessness a place to cool off, get some lunch, and something to drink. "Even though we're doing a lot of things to meet basic needs; we're giving people meals, we're giving them cold water, we're doing showers and laundry, we're doing resources, really we want to help them long-term," Williams said."So we want to come alongside them and offer them hope and help them come up with a plan...so that they can get off the streets and not be in these conditions next summer.
