Homeless bottled water supply dwindling, donations needed

PHOENIX - It’s no shock that triple-digit days can become fatal for those without proper protection, so local organizations are doing their part to combat the heat.

St. Vincent de Paul, a non-profit organization, has taken matters into their own hands by opening dining rooms for extended hours on overly-hot days and providing bottled water to homeless members of the community.

Giving away over 1,700 bottles of water a day on their Human Services Campus, their supply of bottled water is running out.

According to a news release, St. Vincent de Paul estimates that they only have enough water to last them nine more days.

If you can help the non-profit supply more bottled water to the community in need, you can make online monetary donations online or drop off water at any of the following locations:
