Mesa Hydration Donation Campaign still needs water before Sept. 30 deadline
(City of Mesa)
The Mesa Hydration Donation Campaign will collect water to distribute to vulnerable populations until Thursday, Sept. 30. Mesa residents can donate water bottles in-person or donate money online which goes towards the purchase of water bottles.
The Mesa Hydration Donation Campaign is still looking for donations ahead of its Sept. 30 deadline.
As of Aug. 4, 2025, the campaign has received donations of 193,352 bottles and $50,369 in cash. The cash donations were used by United Food Bank to purchase an additional 187,500 bottles of water bringing the total amount to 380,852.
According to a release, the goal for this year’s campaign is to collect 500,000 battles and $40,000 in cash donations.
“It’s inspiring to see the generosity of Mesa residents and businesses shine through each year during the Hydration Donation Campaign,” said Mayor Mark Freeman. “Whether it’s a case of water or a modest cash donation, every contribution can truly be a lifesaver. I’m confident we’ll reach — and likely exceed — our campaign goal.”
Companies and organizations that donated bottles include EdgeCore Digital Infrastructure, Klaus Team Real Estate Solutions, St. Luke’s Lutheran Church, Apache Wells Community Church and more.
“We’re incredibly thankful for the support we’ve received so far — every bottle of water and every dollar truly makes a difference,” said Jason Reed, president and CEO of United Food Bank. “But the need in our community is still great. If you’re in a position to help, now is the time. Whether it’s a five-dollar donation or a case of water, you could be saving someone’s life. Every donation counts.”
Mesa Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Sally Harrison is hopeful that the remaining days of the campaign will see even more donations come in.
“The Mesa business community has always stepped up to help this lifesaving cause, collecting water or raising money so United Food Bank can purchase even more cases,” Harrison said. “I’m confident we will see even more generous donations of both water and cash in the weeks ahead, especially as groups rise to the challenge and match contributions to this critical effort.”
