Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Arizona Properties Brings Community Together to Combat Extreme Summer Heat
Communitywide water drive across nine Arizona offices will help provide life-saving hydration resources for people experiencing homelessness.
PHOENIX (July 21, 2026) – Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Arizona Properties is partnering with Phoenix Rescue Mission, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization serving people experiencing homelessness, through its annual Code:Red campaign to help deliver life-saving resources during Arizona’s extreme summer heat.
As part of the partnership, the company is hosting a community-wide water drive from June 22-Aug. 31 across all nine Arizona offices, with additional drop-off locations at participating churches, local organizations and peer-to-peer fundraisers throughout the Phoenix area.
Since launching the annual water drive in 2014, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Arizona Properties has collected hundreds of thousands of bottles of water to support people experiencing homelessness during Arizona’s hottest months. A $25 donation to the campaign provides more than 500 bottles of water, helping people stay hydrated throughout the summer.
For Arizona Regional Manager Kristina Watson, supporting Phoenix Rescue Mission reflects not only the company’s longstanding commitment to serving Arizona communities but also carries deep personal significance.
“This water drive hits close to home for me because I experienced homelessness as a child, so I know what it’s like to not always have the basic things you need,” said Watson. “Living in Arizona, we all know how important water is, especially during the summer. If we can help someone by providing something as simple as water, it’s the least we can do. We’re honored to partner with Phoenix Rescue Mission and know our community will join us in making a difference.”
The partnership supports Phoenix Rescue Mission’s annual Code:Red campaign, which provides life-saving hydration and other heat relief resources to people experiencing homelessness during Arizona’s extreme summer months. After distributing 1 million bottles of water last year, the organization has set a goal of distributing 2 million bottles this year.
Arizona’s extreme summer heat poses life-threatening risks for people experiencing homelessness, making community partnerships and donations critical to the success of the Code:Red campaign.
