Working together. Ending homelessness.

A Whole Lotta Bottles

Hello!

The heat definitely had a hold on us this summer! Luckily, the community came together in a big way to support our Thirst Aid Heat Relief Campaign. And now that the weather's finally cooling off, we'd like to pause to share our results with you.

With your help, we gathered and/or purchased a WHOLE LOTTA bottled water.

Water that kept our unhoused neighbors hydrated and healthy in the dangerous Arizona heat.

What's a whole lot?

We raised $29,373 toward our $32,000 goal, and had so many of you deliver cases and cases (that resulted in pallets and pallets) of water.

Some new community members gave for the first time. Others deepened their impact by hosting their own drives and spreading awareness within their social circles.

Thank you to everyone who made it a great season!
