Our Southeast Valley v-corps was able to raise $1,354 towards water bottles for the Mesa. Our goal was to donate 5,000 and enough funds were raised to beat that goal and purchase 5,760 bottles. This was a record year overall for the Mesa Hydration Donation as 701,257 bottles of water was collected, breaking the goal of 400,000.

Additional information on the campaign: The City of Mesa works with nonprofit agencies and businesses to collect the bottles of water which are distributed through United Food Bank to numerous agencies in the valley, including A New Leaf-East Valley Men’s Center, Paz de Cristo and Mesa United Way. The campaign is a lifesaver for the less fortunate during the hot summer months and the need is even greater this year due to the economic challenges from the COVID-19 pandemic.
