Lethbridge water drive collects bottled water for at-risk residents
Community groups and agencies across Lethbridge are teaming up to gather donated bottled water as summer heat poses risks to vulnerable residents.
Why it matters
The initiative helps protect vulnerable Lethbridge residents from heat-related health risks during the summer season.
Lethbridge's annual Water Drive is currently underway, with several community groups and agencies collecting bottled water donations for distribution to the city's most vulnerable populations.
Organizers say the effort targets those most at risk during the summer months, including people experiencing homelessness or without reliable access to shelter and hydration during hot weather.
The drive relies on donations from residents and local organizations, who are being asked to contribute bottled water that will then be distributed to agencies serving at-risk community members throughout the city.
