ARIZONA, USA — Extreme summer heat is headed to Arizona and the Salvation Army has opened up its annual heat relief stations to help keep people cool and safe.
The stations act as an area of respite and allow anyone to get indoor cooling and hydration, according to the organization. When Excessive Heat Warnings are issued in the Valley, the nonprofit set up mobile hydration units at the stations in metro Phoenix to serve as many people as possible.
"The Salvation Army gives out nearly 1,500 bottles of water per day during Excessive Heat Warnings and thousands more bottles of water throughout the year … like to first responders who keep our community safe, people displaced by disaster, and tribal communities that have been through difficult times during the pandemic," the nonprofit said.
