Abraham Connection in Delta, Colorado

With weather forecasts showing dangerously high temperatures, KVNF's Cassie Knust spoke with Cheryl Oeltjenbruns of the Abraham Connection in Delta about the shelter’s first community cooling station.

To help combat the heat, the Abraham Connection will be open from 3PM to 7pm for a cooling station whenever the temperature is 101 degrees and above. They are located at 480 Silver Street in Delta. Call 970-433-6266 if you’d like to volunteer or need more information.

Cassie moved to Montrose from Texas in April 2020, right before COVID changed the landscape of the world as we knew it. She brought her love of people and a degree in broadcast journalism to the Western Slope, where she built a strong foundation in local print news. She’s excited to join the KVNF family and grow as a reporter. For Cassie, her job as a journalist is to empower the community through knowledge and information. When she’s not researching and reporting, Cassie loves to spend time with her cat, Jasper, and paint something new.
