Summer Respite Program
Homeless need help staying cool in the summer When the temperatures soar and the hot summer days are upon us, many homeless people who live on the streets do not have their basic needs met. Arizona's harsh summer weather conditions can be devastating to people who are unable to avoid them for long periods of time. Older people, children and people with disabilities are particularly vulnerable to extreme temperatures. The community can assist by donating items that will keep people who are homeless cool and protected during the long hot summer. The city of Phoenix is asking people to donate only the following items to be distributed to those that are homeless:
Cash or check donations to supplement the donated items also are welcomed. The program runs through September. Tax-deductible donations may be delivered to any of the city's three family services centers. Acknowledgement of donation is available. Please call 602-534-5463 to arrange a bulk or large donation.
The centers are open from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Friday. Donated items are distributed by local homeless outreach teams from Basic Mission, Catholic Charities, Community Bridges, Health Care for the Homeless, HomeBase Youth Services, Set Free Ministry, Southwest Behavioral Health Service PATH Outreach, Stand Up for Kids, The Salvation Army Project HOPE, Tumbleweed Center for Youth Development, TERROS and US Vets, Inc.
