City receives $771K from Maricopa County to help operations at these locations
(Metro Creative Connection)
Glendale has opened three heat relief centers, which are expected to serve up to 90 people per day between now through September, the city reported Thursday.
The goal for these centers is to provide a safe place for the unsheltered population and their pets to rest and receive essential nutrition and hydration and to reduce the amount of heat-related deaths in the unsheltered population.
“This program is an example of a powerful partnership between Maricopa County, the city of Glendale, the Arizona Faith Network and Phoenix Rescue Mission,” Glendale’s Community Services Director Jean Moreno said in a statement. “Each partner contributes its resources and expertise to maximize impactful services that support vulnerable members of our community in ways we could not do alone.”

Glendale has opened three heat relief centers, which are expected to serve up to 90 people per day between now through September, the city reported Thursday.
The goal for these centers is to provide a safe place for the unsheltered population and their pets to rest and receive essential nutrition and hydration and to reduce the amount of heat-related deaths in the unsheltered population.
