Why It Matters
People experiencing homelessness are disproportionately impacted by extreme heat. Without reliable access to shade, clean drinking water, or air-conditioned spaces, the risk of dehydration, heat exhaustion, and other serious health conditions rises quickly.
Our Outreach team is on the front lines every day, meeting people where they are, building relationships, and providing essential supplies that help individuals stay safe and survive in extreme conditions.
Make an Immediate Impact
A bottle of water can prevent dehydration.
A cooling towel can bring relief in extreme temperatures.
A simple donation can help save a life.
