Temperatures are rising and Stephen Center (www.stephencenter.org) is in urgent need of bottled water. Consider making donations now!
Water is always in demand at Stephen Center, but it is imperative to bulk the supply as the summer months approach. The high temperatures of summer pose a significant risk to anyone exposed, specifically people experiencing homelessness as they navigate through the process of finding permanent housing. Water is an essential item for the safety, well-being, and success of clients at Stephen Center.
“The majority of clients served through Stephen Center programming are on foot as they tend to their schedule,” said Executive Director Michael Wehling. “Whether they are employment seeking, going to appointments, or going to work, we want to help people avoid dangerous consequences of heat exposure by keeping them properly hydrated. Our community was generous last year, and we call on them again now to help us accomplish our mission.”
Donations can be brought to the Donation Center located on the south side of the building at 2723 Q St. The Donation Center is open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, and noon to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Water can also be donated through their wish list accessible on their webpage at www.stephencenter.org. Please contact the donation center at (402) 715-5478 for further information.
