Protect yourself from extreme heat

While many Texans may feel more tolerant of our hot local summers than most Americans the human body can only take so much. Once those temperatures start to hit 95 Degrees and above it's time to dial back those outdoors activities, limit alcohol intake and seek some relief indoors. Learn how to protect yourself here.

Spread the Love this Summer

Spread the Love is an annual campaign that runs through Labor Day that encourages the donation of peanut butter and jelly as well as financial contributions to help feed children in Mesquite during the summer who live in food insecure environments.
