Did you know that experts predict 2019 could be the hottest year on record? Phoenix Rescue Mission's annual Valley-wide Code:Red Summer Heat Relief Campaign is more important than ever in an effort to protect the local homeless population. 

From May 1 through August 31, Phoenix Rescue Mission is partnering with businesses and municipalities, including the cities of Phoenix, Peoria and Glendale, to distribute water, in-the-package new socks, toiletry kits (Hope Totes) and other heat-relief items to those living on the streets this summer as part of its seventh-annual campaign.

As summer fast approaches, the Mission is asking the public to support its efforts by donating needed items, volunteering time or providing monetary donations, which will be matched up to $150,000, made possible by a grant from several friends of the Phoenix Rescue Mission. Public drop-off sites for water are located throughout the Valley and can be found here. All other heat-relief donations can be dropped off at the Mission’s Donation Warehouse, located at 3440 W. Lewis Ave., building A, suite G, in Phoenix.
