Transportation to Cooling Center

As Fort Bend County experiences more and more heat advisories the need to stay cool becomes all the more important, especially for the elderly. Fort Bend Seniors Meals on Wheels provides a Cooling Center for those with no place to go during the hot summer months.

The Cooling Center is located at the Fort Bend Seniors Meals on Wheels, 1330 Band Road in Rosenberg, just behind the Fort Bend County Fairgrounds off of Highway 36. The building is open from 8 am – 5 pm, Monday- Friday, and it is air conditioned. The Cooling Centers also provide water fountains and leisure activities (cards, board games) for those who visit.

If anyone needs assistance going to and from the Cooling Center please take advantage of Fort Bend Transit Services.
