TYLER — A local man makes sure no one in his community suffers in times of extreme heat. When the temperatures hit 95 degrees or above in Tyler, the Salvation Army opens its doors for people to cool off or even stay overnight. Phil Anderson with the Salvation Army says this is a way he can give back. Anderson says he’s had hard times himself, and someone helped him, so he’s doing likewise through the Salvation Army. The agency also runs a soup kitchen and hands out fans and bags of food for the needy.
