☀Summer is officially here.
In case of a heat wave alert, we want to remind our community that extreme temperatures can pose serious risks—especially for neighbors experiencing homelessness.
As temperatures rise across Washington, DC, access to water, meals, healthcare, shelter, and housing becomes even more critical. Heat waves can be dangerous, and taking steps to stay cool and hydrated can save lives.
At Miriam's Kitchen, our team is working every day to provide meals, outreach, housing support, and connections to essential resources that help our neighbors stay safe and healthy during periods of extreme heat.
During a heat wave, we invite you to join us in caring for our community. Whether through volunteering, advocacy, or a donation, your support helps ensure that everyone has the opportunity to find safety, stability, and a place to call home.
Together, we can respond with compassion, protect our neighbors, and bring hope during the hottest days of the year.
Here's to a summer of compassion, community, and hope.
