With triple-digit temperatures scorching North Texas for the past few weeks, organizations in Tarrant County continue efforts to keep people safe in the extreme weather.
Thousands of people rely on Meals on Wheels of Tarrant County every day, says the organization’s marketing and communications specialist Philip Gonzalez. Their volunteers play a large role not only in meal deliveries but being the eyes and ears of the community.
“If they see someone who doesn’t right, maybe they’re a little disoriented. In some cases, you can open the door and it feels like opening the oven,” Gonzalez said. Gonzalez said in situations like that, volunteers are urged to contact Meals on Wheels. From there, the organization can assist. With the record-breaking heat, he said they are in the process of receiving a grant from Tarrant County to get more air conditioning units into homes.Download NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth
