In advance of another Mesa summer that is expected to bring sweltering heat and intense temperatures, United Food Bank has teamed up with the city of Mesa and various other local organizations to launch its annual hydration donation campaign.
Officially known as The Mesa Hydration Donation Campaign, it has a simple goal — 700,000 water bottles donated by Sept. 27.
The water will be distributed to numerous nonprofits throughout Mesa, including Paz de Cristo, A New Leaf and Mesa United Way. They will give the water to the unhoused and other vulnerable populations who will be outside for long periods of time during the summer heat — which can be life-threatening.
