Urgent Bottled Water Donations Needed Amid Summer Heat

With Central Oregon in the thick of summer and daytime temperatures consistently in the 90s, individuals experiencing homelessness are at heightened risk of dehydration and heat-related illness. To address this challenge, Shepherd’s House Ministries is calling on the community to donate bottled water and support its effort to combat hunger and homelessness.

A Place at the Table is a summer initiative focused on raising critical funds for food, hydration, and support services for those living on the streets. As part of this effort, Shepherd’s House Ministries is urgently seeking donations of bottled water. Cases or pallets of individual-sized bottles are especially needed to help relieve the current shortage and ensure immediate hydration needs are met.

“In this heat, a cold bottle of water can be life-saving,” said Curt Floski, Executive Director at Shepherd’s House Ministries. “But water is just the beginning. People also need food, rest, and connection. That’s what A Place at the Table is all about.”

In addition to water donations, monetary contributions are deeply appreciated. Every dollar raised through A Place at the Table supports meals, outreach services, shelter, and compassionate care for individuals and families experiencing homelessness throughout Central Oregon.

How You Can Help:
