According to the news, even the “corn is sweating (1).” Just this past week, extreme heat affected over 130 million Americans, and for our VOA centers, many more people needed us for emergency relief like cooling shelter, water, and first aid. I hope you can spare time to respond before closing this email. Your donated dollars will go right to work in your community for emergency relief and ongoing support. Every gift matters. Thank you, Friend ~ Tanisha (1) "It's so hot out, corn is sweating…" CNN, 8/24/23 From: Tanisha Smith, Volunteers of America
Friend, As I write this, our VOA teams are in active “heat emergency” mode. This summer’s intense, record-breaking heat has been brutal on the elderly, homeless, and others across the U.S. We’re responding with immediate relief like cooling shelters, water, and critical support.
I hope you’ve been staying cool this summer. Thank goodness for air-conditioning and fans! Our VOA teams have been extra busy helping people with heat-related emergencies. We're very focused on those facing homelessness – for them, the extreme temps are deadly and resources can't wait. Will you consider a gift for our Urgent Needs | Summer Takes More Drive? I'm not sure we could do it at VOA without friends like you. You're a good neighbor to your community and our work to improve lives in it. You know how small steps make a big difference for families in need. This summer is particularly challenging. As inflation rises along with the temperatures, it just presses families already struggling into worse circumstances. You’ve been with us before in our response, and I can’t thank you enough for your past support! I hope we can count on your summer gift, and I guarantee your neighbors in need will be incredibly grateful. Wishing you a safe and happy rest of summer! Gratefully, Tanisha Smith, Vice President
