PHOENIX – With summer on the horizon, Arizona Public Service and the City of Phoenix teamed up to pack heat relief kits for vulnerable individuals this summer.
APS volunteers packed around 2,000 heat relief kits at the end of April, including cooling towels, hand sanitizer, sunscreen, lip balm, and electrolyte packets that the City of Phoenix on hot summer days.
Chris Helmuth oversees heat relief programs and volunteer efforts at APS. She works with critical nonprofits and partners throughout the year to make sure they have what they need.
“We want to do everything we can to help those in need this summer,” said Helmuth. “Whether it’s volunteer events like this or working with nonprofits to help provide AC repairs or replacements, we are here to help.”
In addition to working with the City of Phoenix, APS is also partnering with the Salvation Army, FSL, Society of St. Vincent de Paul, Solari Inc., Lyft, Wildfire and the Arizona Faith Network to offer a range of services, including air-conditioning repairs and replacements, emergency shelters, hydration stations, eviction protection and transportation to cooling sites.
