With continued support, Phoenix people in need can count on clothing & hygiene assistance, shower & laundry services, assistance with researching job/shelter opportunities, as well as other personal enrichment, health, and human connections at Grace Lutheran’s Heat Respite!
We will distribute healthy sack lunches Monday through Thursday and cook/serve a warm meal every Friday.
Beginning June 7, on Monday through Friday during the hours of 9:00 am until 5:00 pm, we will offer shade in the courtyard, sack lunches, water, and snacks to anyone trying to beat the heat. Due to ongoing COVID concerns, guests will not be invited inside Hope Hall at this time. If you would like to volunteer at Heat Respite 2021, please also plan to come to volunteer orientation on Sunday, June 6 at 12:00 pm until 1:00 pm in Hope Hall.

Setting up (Monday-Friday, 8:00 am-9:00 am)
Cleaning up (Monday-Friday, 4:00 pm-5:00 pm)
Preparing sack lunches (Monday-Friday, 11:30 am-12:30 pm)
