I need water

As you all know, the summer months in Arizona are, shall we say, CRAZY HOT, and if you have no where to go, it can be deadly.  Cynthia asked me to start looking into a water bottle drive for the hot summer months.  I began looking into churches that may want to lend a helping hand.  I was surprised that so many churches in Phoenix already host water bottle drives and tend to be very protective of their "stash."  So I had to move away from the Phoenix area and begin looking for churches or other non-profits to help with our needs.  Safeway to the rescue.  Safeway has a program if you are a non-profit and you bring in your letter head with a note about what you are trying to accomplish, the store managers have the authority to give you a $20 gift card that can be used in the store.  I was able to get 20 cases of water from different valley Safeway's and I am grateful such a program exists, and I can only imagine the thanks of the homeless individuals that will not die of dehydration this summer.

    I'm glad you were able to get some water for the homeless. If I'm not mistaken, I think the Fire Departments donate water as well. Also, Niagra Bottling company out of Philadelphia is opening a company here in Phoenix. Maybe you should take a shot at getting some water from them. Keep up the great work Clay!
