Crossroads Mission Summer Water Drive
Please help by donating water bottles to Crossroads Mission this summer!
The extreme summer temperatures are here and staying hydrated is a matter of life or death. To help our homeless and the poor, we set up water jugs inside our shelters and outdoors at our main campus for anyone to fill their cups with cool, refreshing water.
We offer free water bottles at our thrift store, and we distribute free cool water at all of our outreach and in-house events. In fact, our shelters and thrift store are official YUMA COOLING STATIONS. We go through water very quickly and we need your help!
Consider having your own water drive to help even more!!
For more information or to get your water drive started contact Sassa Culver, PR Director: 928-580-4482
