Find Cooling in Berkshire, Franklin, Hampden, and Hampshire Counties.

The hot summer months pose threats for people who do not have air conditioning (A/C) available in their home, especially those at highest risk of developing heat-related illness. When a heat wave hits our region, cities and towns may activate cooling centers for residents to access. 


413Cares has put together a webpage with a growing directory of cooling center locations across all four counties of Western MA. Use this page to search for a location near you. 413Cares will also be adding warming center locations in preparation for extreme cold in the winter months.

A new 413Cares kiosk is now available at Caring Health Center's Main Street location in Springfield, located on the second floor. The kiosk gives patients an easy way to search for free or low-cost resources in their area. From food assistance and housing support to childcare, legal services, and more, the platform connects people directly to organizations that can help. The kiosk is part of a broader effort to make 413Cares more accessible across Western MA, ensuring that people have the opportunity to find and connect with the support they need. If you're visiting Caring Health Center's Main Street location, stop by the second floor and try out the 413Cares kiosk!
