The Salvation Army Emergency Disaster Services (EDS) has activated its annual heat relief program. This campaign supports the Extreme Heat Emergency Plan during the hot summer months across the Valley of the Sun.
EDS collects much-needed water and funds, assisting those who suffer through the extreme heat conditions the most – people without a cool place to go during the most excruciating time of year in the Valley.
The Salvation Army gives its heartfelt thanks to key partners APS, DBP, DripDrop and Ford for the significant donations of funding, water and product they’ve provided this year.

-

On average, Arizona sees 109 days of 100-plus temperatures. Imagine having no relief from those harsh conditions.
