Adelaide Zumwalt of the Hermiston Warming Station recently expressed appreciation to Columbia River Heat.

Members of the softball team recently stepped up to the plate asking if there was anything they could do to help out at the warming station. In preparation for its opening, the softball players spent a Friday evening cleaning up. Zumwalt said their pinch hit effort at providing this valuable community service was much appreciated.

The Hermiston Warming Station is located at 1075 S. Highway 395. For information about making donations or ways to help, call 541-289-2150 or search Facebook.
