hydrating the homeless
As a community, you have come together in a BIG way to help support this cause!
With an outpouring of generous donations from the community, and the Tempe Public Library's Water for Fines program and delivery support from the United Food Bank we have been able to donate over 200 cases of water to Tempe's homeless providers already this month.
We have another shipment going out this week, and the Arizona Youth Outreach Foundation is hosting a carwash to benefit the cause this Saturday, June 29 beginning at 8am at the Applebee's on Southern and Rural.
Individuals and business can help provide heat relief for those in need. Water bottles and monetary donations are accepted throughout the summer during our regular office hours: Monday-Friday 8:30am-4:30pm at Tempe Community Council, 34 East 7th St. Tempe 85281, tel #480.858.2300. Also, we can help your dollar stretch with bulk purchasing, so donations are gladly accepted online:
Thank you! |
