HELP of Southern Nevada And Whole Foods market Team Up For “HELP2O” Bottled Water Campaign
Campaign aims to provide area homeless with relief during the hot summer months
HELP of Southern Nevada’s “HELP2O” campaign encourages Southern Nevadans to help protect homeless residents from the dangers associated with the summer heat by donating water and spare change at Whole Foods Market now through August.
Those looking to donate bottled water can do so by visiting Whole Foods’ Tenaya (7250 W. Lake Mead Blvd.) and Town Square (6689 Las Vegas Blvd.) locations. Both locations will serve as collection points for HELP of Southern Nevada. Bottled water donations can be purchased in-store and donated or purchased elsewhere and dropped off at Whole Foods. The water will be collected on a regular basis and distributed to area homeless.
“The HELP20 campaign puts water in our homeless residents’ hands to help them fight the dangers associated with excessive heat,” remarked HELP of Southern Nevada President and Chief Executive Officer Terrie D’Antonio. “As temperatures continue to rise, this is one of our top priorities and we are thrilled that Whole Foods is partnering with us in this effort.”
Additionally, those looking to make a monetary donation will be able to do so by tossing their change into branded HELP of Southern Nevada change jars at all four of Whole Foods’ Las Vegas and Henderson locations or submitting a donation through the nonprofit’s website at www.helpsonv.org.
