100 Days, Countless Ways to Shine by Sharing

This summer, support us in our mission to Feed, Clothe, House and Heal! 100 Days of Summer is dedicated to meeting the heightened summer needs of our most vulnerable neighbors when extreme heat threatens lives, utility bills increase, and families have increased food costs with kids out of school.

Need heat relief?

June = Water

Arizona has some of the hottest summers in the U.S. according to the Arizona Department of Health Services, over 3,000 people visit the emergency room each year due to lack of water and excessive heat.

Despite being the hottest summer on record, heat-related deaths declined for the first time in a decade in Maricopa County. The Maricopa County Department of Public Health released its 2024 preliminary report which found 602 heat-related deaths. 

In 2024, Maricopa County experienced an unprecedented heat season with the Valley enduring 113 consecutive days of temperatures at or above 100°F. In this heat, providing cold, clean water and heat relief to those experiencing homelessness is truly lifesaving. Those without proper shelter are the most susceptible to dehydration and heatstroke. 

This June, we're teaming up with ABC15 and Bashas' to deliver water to our neighbors who are most affected. Starting June 1 through June 30, our Water Drive Station Initiative will provide water to those most at risk.

We estimate we'll be giving out 4,400 bottles of water a day. That's about 440,000 bottles for the summer months!

You can donate at the PIN pad throughout the month of June at any Bashas' or purchase a case of water next time you visit a Bashas' Food Store.

Water is a vital, life-saving resource for those in need during the brutal summer months. Your support helps us to provide not only water, but also heat relief and wraparound support to families and individuals throughout the Valley.
