Heat relief centers are saving lives!

July 22, 2023 in Faith In Action

In partnership with the Heat Relief Network, our faith-based organizations, and other partners, Arizona Faith Network has launched an initiative to help establish and operate faith-based hydration, cooling, and heat relief respite centers throughout the valley. Due to the record-setting extreme temperatures, these centers have been very busy and are providing life-saving services, especially to the Valley's unhoused population. Below are links to just a few of many news stories, and we thank the media for helping to spread the word about the availability of these impactful and important services.

  • NBC: Heat wave scorches millions as relief efforts strive to keep up

  • KTAR: Glendale opens three heat relief centers for unhoused

  • KTAR: Tempe gets funding from Maricopa County to operate indoor cooling center


DONATE NOW TO SUPPORT THE INITIATIVE!
