A huge thank you @RafiInterfaith and Saint Lukes Out of the Cold brining this water to folks without access in encampments and sleeping rough. Thanks to the whole community who donated and @BlueTritonBrnds @AtripcoDelivery, @TrucksForChange, @thomsonterminal and @jplogistics!

[Rafi Aaron @RafiInterfaith]

Filled with love & gratitude for our friends @PFoodchain for this shipment of water to the Out of the Cold Meal Program @ Saint Lukes U.C. Outreach is a large part of what we do. We'll get this water to those sleeping rough & in encampments 🙏💕

[Project FoodChain @PFoodchain]

@RafiInterfaith Hey @RafiInterfaith. Thanks for the shout-out and for your incredible work and advocacy. For unhoused folks who live in encampments, or sleep rough, without access to running water, too few City water trucks and no dedicated cooling centres, this is the very least we can do.

[Diana Chan McNally @DianaCMcNally]

Actual question: if @cityoftoronto is piloting six 'Cleaner Air Spaces' to address poor air quality due to wildfires, why can't these spaces be opened more broadly during extreme weather events, like today's heat warning? We need 24/7 extreme weather spaces.

[Rafi Aaron @RafiInterfaith]

16 yrs volunteering yesterday was the hardest day physically for me to be outside doing outreach & that includes ice storms & extreme cold. Community members I encountered were physically depleted, having issues breathing & barely hanging on. There's no reprieve from this heat 1/

[Project FoodChain @PFoodchain]

With this deadly heatwave, we delivered water for unhoused residents stranded outside today- made possible by folks who donated, @Diana_C_McNally and partners @BlueTritonCA @AtripcoDelivery @TrucksForChange and @thomsonterminal https://t.co/Dn2oYDpQpY #coolingcentres #housing

@MayorOliviaChow @TOPublicHealth Thank you, @MayorOliviaChow, @Diana_C_McNally and all of the community members who worked to make this happen. Let's make our organization's water program for unhoused community members obsolete. Now, please open the designated cooling centres.

[Project FoodChain @PFoodchain]

@StFelixCentre Water is critical to survival for folks without running water or permanent shelter. We are so happy to help!

[Project FoodChain @PFoodchain]

Water for #unhoused residents this week is going to @StFelixCentre @Margarets_TO @commontableto @The519 @TheStopCFC @StLeonardsPeel @CovenantHouseTO @StreetHealthTO to name a few. #torontoheatwave #peelheatwave.

[Project FoodChain @PFoodchain]

This week's #heatwave could be deadly for #unhoused residents in #Toronto if they can't keep hydrated. With the help of @Diana_C_McNally and her fundraiser, along with everyone who has contributed and our amazing partners, we're delivering water across TO all summer! Thank you!

[Project FoodChain @PFoodchain]

@Diana_C_McNally We are just incredibly grateful to @Diana_C_McNally and every single person who has donated to this cause. As Diana says, water is an emergency health intervention in a deadly #heatwave and you are ensuring our unhoused neighbours can keep hydrated. Thank you.

[Project FoodChain @PFoodchain]

We are just so incredibly grateful to @Diana_C_McNally and everyone in the community who have contributed so that our team can distribute life-saving water to unhoused residents during this deadly #heatwave and all summer long. Wow! #torontoheatwave #unhoused

[Project FoodChain @PFoodchain]

Thank you @Diana_C_McNally and everyone for helping us get water to our unhoused neighbours across Toronto and Peel. We're dreading this heatwave and its unequal impact. If we all had safe, affordable, housing, none of this would be needed.

[Diana Chan McNally @DianaCMcNally]

Since 2020, I've relied on donated water from @PFoodchain to keep people healthy. Without ready access to running water — and more people outdoors die in the heat than in the cold — these donations have literally saved lives. We can't distribute water without your support!

[Trucks For Change @TrucksForChange]

For people living rough, water is truly the gift of life.  Kudos to Network carriers:  JDSmith, GX Transportation Solutions Inc., and Thomson Terminals Limited,and Atripco Delivery Service for moving hundreds of pallets of water donated to Project FoodChain by BlueTriton Brands.

[Project FoodChain @PFoodchain]

We just delivered a load of water to @LAMPCHC_info! Unhoused folks who drop by LAMP don't have access to taps, glasses or a place to escape the heat, so water is lifesaving.

Thanks LAMP, @BlueTritonCA, @AtripcoDelivery, @TrucksForChange & @thomsonterminal for making this happen!

[Gillian Kolla, PhD @GillianKolla]

There is also a petition being circulated in support of the life-saving services being offered at South Riverdale Community Health Centre, and the need of increased support for harm reduction and supervised consumption services in our communities! https://t.co/e3CMGSy5WA

[Toronto Star @TorontoStar]

City data shows that Toronto turned away an average of 273 people a day from shelters during the month of June, a record high for a city struggling to provide for its homeless population. https://t.co/Lf9NDjbLJx

[Bill Sinclair @BillTNGCS]

Heat Alert for this week! Please check on vulnerable neighbours. Almost all of @tngcommunityTO housing has air conditioning. And we have two cooling spaces for tenants that need them during heat alerts. Essential for the future!

[Project FoodChain @PFoodchain]

The heat continues and there's little respite for unhoused folks.

Fortunately we're still getting water to agencies including our wonderful friends at @VeahavtaNews.

Thanks @BlueTritonCA for the donation & @AtripcoDelivery & @thomsonterminal for delivery & transport!

[Project FoodChain @PFoodchain]

We'd like to give a big thanks to @TrucksForChange and their incredible partner @GXTransport for bringing a truckload of vital water from our donor @BlueTritonCA in Guelph to the @AtripcoDelivery warehouse for delivery to unhoused community members across the GTA!

[Project FoodChain @PFoodchain]

The heat continues, and so does our commitment to getting water to our unhoused neighbours via our partner agencies including the fine folks at @CovenantHouseTO!

Thanks @BlueTritonCA for donating, @TrucksForChange & @thomsonterminal, and @AtripcoDelivery for getting it there!
