Homelessness and the Heat
Many Times as the Summer heat begins to beat down in our state and city many of the homeless become dehydrated and can suffer from heat stroke in our community. Last year I called the ambulance twice on individuals who came up to our Mission from the Arkansas River suffering from dehydration or heat sickness. This is why I ask that we all remember the hardness on those who are living on city sidewalks, concrete or asphalt. Cities are known to be hotter because of the concrete and buildings. And how hot it can become with temperatures drawing close to the century mark coming soon. Please remember to collect Bottled Water, Gatorade and other items. Go to our website: www.fscrm.org and look at our Summer Needs. Lets work to gether to keep people safe in the Heat, as we have already lost one homeless person this month as it begin to become hot. Thanks for all you do for the Community Rescue Mission. Your Charity at work in the Community you care for.
