On Wednesday, June 24, 2015, over 170 social service agencies, outreach providers and homeless shelters will receive in excess of 300,000 water bottles and 3,000 summer survival kits in an effort to arm frontline relief organizations with lifesaving resources to reach out to the homeless in extreme summer weather conditions.
The Toronto Police Service and 13 Division have been involved in this worthy cause for over five years. Officers and over 100 volunteers will be on hand to help distribute water and aid to the homeless.
Project Water is an Engage and Change program committed to helping those who are less fortunate endure the hardships of summer by providing such necessities as bottled water, a re-usable water bottle, sunscreen, hats, toiletries and various first-aid items. Since its inception in 1999, Project Water has placed in excess of 2 million bottles of water into the hands of Toronto and surrounding area homeless people.
There will be an opportunity for a photo op, and to assist officers and outreach personnel at The Bargains Group, 890 Caledonia Road, starting at noon.
