The GTA is facing a humanitarian crisis of epic proportions that continues to be placated by official attempts at band-aid solutions. Homelessness in the GTA is a growing epidemic and should be a public health priority. Following a reported 97 homeless deaths in 2017, the call to action is NOW to save the lives of those in need. Bracing for long-range weather forecasts that call for record heat, those most vulnerable will again face the threat of death by dehydration during the warm summer months. While the loss of life among our homeless is an ongoing concern that comprises all demographic characteristics, something as simple as clean drinking water remains a scarce commodity for relief agencies and outreach programs that provide aid to those living in shelters and on our city streets.<\/p>\n<p>In an insurmountable act of compassion, community-minded sponsors Nestl\u00e9 Waters Canada; Canada Cartage; The Bargains Group; Home Depot; Toronto Police Service 13 Division; and over 100 volunteers of the<em>19<\/em><em>th <\/em><em>Annual Project Water <\/em>&#8211; an <em>Engage and Change <\/em>initiative to provide bottled water to those in need, will arm 150+ social service agencies, outreach providers and homeless shelters with an excess of 300,000 Nestl\u00e9 water bottles and 3,000 summer survival kits in an effort to provide life saving resources to the homeless in extreme summer weather conditions: <strong>Wednesday, June 27<\/strong><strong>th<\/strong><strong>, 2018<\/strong>, care of <strong>The Bargains Group, 890 Caledonia Road, 10:30 am.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><strong>IT TAKES A VILLAGE TO SAVE A LIFE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWater is the essence of all life and is an invaluable resource to those most vulnerable all year round,\u201d said Jody Steinhauer, founder of <em>Project Water<\/em>. \u201cHowever, lack of clean drinking water among those less fortunate takes precedent in the warmer months when the risk of death by dehydration increases significantly due to excessive heat and humidity.\u201d It takes a village to save a life. \u201cWe are grateful to our community partners in leading the charge in this ongoing endeavor to help save the lives of those living on our streets and in shelters and encourage all in the GTA community to rally for those whose life expectancy is at risk over something we all take for granted \u2013 shelter and clean drinking water.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Project Water <\/em>is an <em>Engage and Change <\/em>program committed to helping those less fortunate endure the hardships of summer by providing such <em>necessities for the needy <\/em>as: bottled water, a re-usable water bottle, sunscreen, hat, toiletry and first aid items, etc. Since its inception in 2000, <em>Project Water <\/em>has placed in excess of 2 million bottles of water into the hands of Toronto and surrounding area homeless.
