MVD employees donate bottled water and other summertime relief

In Arizona’s infamous summer heat, you can work up a sweat very quickly and easily from basic yardwork or even a short walk, making that first sip of water a refreshing relief.

Understanding the importance of water during these months, the MVD Community Connections team  has organized another bottled water drive to help several different community organizations around the state provide liquid relief.

MVD offices in Apache Junction, Casa Grande, Globe, Mesa/Gilbert, Nogales, Safford, Scottsdale, Tucson and Yuma all donated cases of water and other heat relief supplies like lip balm, deodorant, lotion and sunscreen and delivered them to organizations in their communities. In total, more than 250 cases of water were collected and distributed to organizations around the state that provide food, water, services and shelter for those experiencing hunger, poverty and homelessness. These organizations included Central Arizona Shelter Services, Gila Valley Samaritan Home, Crossroads Mission, La Frontera and Pa de Cristo Outreach Center.

The mission of the MVD Community Connections team is building positive relationships within the community by lending a hand and inspiring others. The team organizes several donation events each year to benefit the local community of each MVD office location.
