A Glendale location will be part of the heat relief station activated Monday by the Salvation Army Emergency Disaster Services.

With almost a dozen sites throughout the Valley, the relief stations provide indoor cooling and hydration when an Excessive Heat Warning is issued by the National Weather Service, as NWS did for Monday, July 11.

Since May, The Salvation Army has provided heat relief to more than 18,000 people in the Valley and given out over 42,000 bottles of water.

The Glendale site is located at Glendale Corps Community Center, 6010 W. Northern Ave., from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. when Salvation Army officers, staff and volunteers will also take water to those in need around their neighborhoods.

Additionally, mobile hydration units will be dispatched to portions of the Valley identified as areas with high homeless populations.

APS, DBP, DripDrop and Ford have all made significant donations of funding, water and product to the Army’s heat relief efforts.

To donate to help neighbors in need facing the unbearable summer heat, visit SalvationArmyPhoenix.org or text HEAT to 51555. To volunteer at a heat relief station, contact your local Salvation Army or call 602-267-4100.

The Salvation Army EDS is part of the Maricopa Association of Governments’ Heat Relief Regional Network, the goal of which is to provide resources to prevent heat-related illnesses and deaths among vulnerable populations.
