Did you know that over 1,000 Arizonans have died in the past two years due to heat-related and heat-caused illnesses?

Arizona Faith Network has launched the 2023 Heat Relief Initiative to help establish faith-based hydration, cooling, and heat relief respite centers throughout the Phoenix Valley. Their web page offers many options for organizations and individuals to be involved.

AFN is also holding an Extreme Heat Webinar, Tuesday, 4/25/2023, noon-1pm MST/PDT, via Zoom. Register for the webinar here.

Join leaders from the Heat Relief Network of Maricopa County and AFN staff to learn how your faith community can save lives this heat season. This short Lunch and Learn presentation will cover the impact of extreme heat across Arizona neighborhoods and the importance of houses of worship in heat relief work. All are welcome to attend and engage in this conversation.
