100 Days of Summer campaign begins as funding dwindles

St. Vincent de Paul’s 100 Days of Summer campaign is revving up as organization officials say pandemic-era funding draws to an end.
In its fourth year, the campaign runs through Labor Day and seeks “a different high-need item each month that helps combat the effects of extreme heat, summer food insecurity and exposure to the elements,” according to a release.
In June the focus is on water, food in July and shelter in August.
“Last year, our community saw a record number of heat-related deaths, as we all experienced days on end above 110 degrees,” SVdP’s CEO Shannon Clancy said.
“This year, we have the opportunity to come together as a community to protect and save our most vulnerable neighbors living on the street and vulnerable families in homes making the decision between paying for their air conditioning or putting food on the table.”
